Hi, and welcome to the course ‘AI in C# using the Microsoft Agent Framework.’ My name is Rasmus, and I will be taking you through how you can use AI in your C# Apps using Microsoft’s Agent Framework… The content will revolve around what I call the 4 main concepts of AI that will lay a solid foundation for working with AI
Those 4 concepts are:
- 1. Chat (General Q&A Capabilities): Either as a real chat or behind the scenes
- 2. Tools Calling (Ability to call User-code): Live interaction with other systems for data queries and commands
- 3. Structured Output (More structured responses): Get AI responses back in JSON format instead of messages
- 4. Retrival Augmented Generation (RAG): Give your own data to AI by turning Text into Search Vectors
In order to follow along in the course, I expect you to be proficient in C#, meaning I will teach you the AI parts, but will assume you know the C# language fully. You will also need an IDE like Visual Studio or similar (I will be using VS2026) Finally, you will need access to a Large Language Model… If you do not have that already, don’t worry, I will show you how to get such access…
In the course, I will demo OpenAI and Azure OpenAI
Let’s get started!
