You access Azure AI services via Azure [resources](/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/manage-resources-portal) that you create in your Azure subscription. After you create an AI Foundry or other AI services resource, you can use the credentials generated to authenticate your applications.

You can use an AI Foundry resource [with or without an AI Foundry project](../ai-foundry/what-is-azure-ai-foundry.md#which-type-of-project-do-i-need). For example:
36
+
- Create a project when you need to use the Azure AI Foundry Agent Service.
37
+
- Create a project when you need to fine-tune a model.
38
+
- You don't need a project when you want to use models as-is via REST API or SDKs.

Your AI Foundry resource might or might not be associated with an AI Foundry project:
41
+
- AI Foundry resources can be created in the Azure portal, Azure CLI, PowerShell, Bicep template, Terraform, or SDKs. In those cases, the AI Foundry resource by default isn't associated with a project. You can create a project later and associate it as a dependent of the AI Foundry resource.
42
+
- A [project can be created in the Azure AI Foundry portal](../ai-foundry/how-to/create-projects.md) and automatically associated as a dependent of a new AI Foundry resource.
43
+
- An AI Foundry resource might have been created in the AI Foundry portal, but as a dependent resource of an [Azure AI Foundry hub](../ai-foundry/concepts/ai-resources.md). In this case, the resource is automatically associated with the project you create in the hub.

Azure AI Search skills don't support the AI Foundry resource as described previously in this article. You must create a different kind of multi-service resource for Azure AI Search skills.
