Integrate LLMs into Your .NET Apps with Semantic Kernel
Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Ollama are revolutionizing software development by enabling natural language understanding, content generation, and intelligent automation. But how do you seamlessly integrate these cutting-edge AI models into your .NET applications without reinventing the wheel?
In this practical talk, we’ll explore Semantic Kernel, an open-source SDK from Microsoft designed to simplify the integration of LLMs into .NET ecosystems. Whether you’re building chatbots, automating workflows, or enhancing user experiences with AI, this session will equip you with the tools to harness the power of LLMs in your applications.
