This CODE Presents event will bring you up to speed on Microsoft’s powerful Semantic Kernel. Similar to the open-source LangChain framework, Semantic Kernel is an SDK for .NET, Python, and Java AI developers, making it easy to integrate AI services like OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and Hugging Face into C#, Python, and Java. In this presentation, you will learn how to use Semantic Kernel to accelerate your AI coding. Gain insights on abstracting your code, building and using plug-ins, tackling complex AI tasks, and leveraging built-in tools, saving significant time, allowing faster market penetration, and ensuring maintainability in these fast-paced times. Semantic Kernel is Microsoft’s special sauce for building copilots and it can be yours too. Join us to learn how you can orchestrate your AI with Semantic Kernel!
