/// <summary>
/// This sample shows how to enable OpenTelemetry observability for workflows when
/// using them as <see cref="AIAgent"/>s.
///
/// In this example, we create a workflow that uses two language agents to process
/// input concurrently, one that responds in French and another that responds in English.
///
/// You will interact with the workflow in an interactive loop, sending messages and receiving
/// streaming responses from the workflow as if it were an agent who responds in both languages.
///
/// OpenTelemetry observability is enabled at multiple levels:
/// 1. At the chat client level, capturing telemetry for interactions with the Azure OpenAI service.
/// 2. At the agent level, capturing telemetry for agent operations.
/// 3. At the workflow level, capturing telemetry for workflow execution.
///
/// Traces will be sent to an Aspire dashboard via an OTLP endpoint, and optionally to
/// Azure Monitor if an Application Insights connection string is provided.
///
/// Learn how to set up an Aspire dashboard here:
/// https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/aspire/fundamentals/dashboard/standalone?tabs=bash
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// Pre-requisites:
/// - Foundational samples should be completed first.
/// - This sample uses concurrent processing.
/// - An Azure OpenAI endpoint and deployment name.
/// - An Application Insights resource for telemetry (optional).
/// </remarks>
