+## Generate OpenAPI spec using natural language prompts
+
+The API Center plugin for [GitHub Copilot for Azure](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-azuretools.vscode-azure-github-copilot) (preview) helps you design new APIs starting from natural language prompts. With AI assistance, quickly generate an OpenAPI spec for API development that complies with your organization's standards.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This feature is available in the pre-release version of the API Center extension.
+
+1. If desired, set an active API style guide. Use the **Ctrl+Shift+P** keyboard shortcut to open the Command Palette. Type **Azure API Center: Set API Style Guide**, make a selection, and hit **Enter**. 
+
+    If no style guide is set, the default `spectral:oas` ruleset is used.
+1. In the chat panel, make a request in natural language to the `@azure` agent to describe what the API does. Example:
+
+    ```vscode
+    @azure Generate OpenAPI spec: An API that allows customers to pay for an order using various payment methods such as cash, checks, credit cards, and debit cards.
+    ```  
+
+    The agent responds with an OpenAPI specification document.
+
+    :::image type="content" source="media/build-register-apis-vscode-extension/generate-api-specification.png" alt-text="Screenshot showing how to use @azure extension to generate an OpenAPI spec from a prompt.":::
+
+
+1. Review the generated output for accuracy and compliance with your API style guide. Refine the prompt if needed to regenerate.
+
+    > [!TIP]
+    > Effective prompts focus on an API's business requirements rather than implementation details. Shorter prompts sometimes work better than longer ones.
+1. When it meets your requirements, save the generated OpenAPI specification to a file. 
+1. Register the API with your API center. Select **Register your API in API Center** button in the chat panel, or select **Azure API Center: Register API** from the Command Palette, and follow the prompts.
