I just made some mild formatting/grammar edits, no content changes. Let me know when this is ready to merge. |

I like we have simplified the instructions a lot with this update. Can we add a simple LLM call, say to OpenAI asking "what's the weather in NYC, today?", as an example request people can use to trace? I think it is small and easy enough for people to try who may not yet have an application handy at the moment, but would still like to kick the tires |

@shris-github i think we should offer a different path for people looking to explore the product - like a live vscode env + temp demo org setup - rather than try to solve it with the "get started quickly in my app" purpose this doc has. Else customers will be confused why they need to install OpenAI to use LLMObs |

| 3. Make requests to your application triggering LLM calls and then view traces in the **Traces** tab [of the **LLM Observability** page][3] in Datadog. If you don't see any traces, make sure you are using a supported library else you may need to instrument your application's LLM calls manually. | |||

The quickstart guide was not quick at all.
