Build AI-First Apps Faster with Semantic Kernel
Details
NOTE: THIS IS BOTH IN-PESRON AND VIRTUAL
These days with the advent of ChatGPT and other AI innovations, software development teams are increasingly under pressure to "sprinkle some AI" in their applications.
Semantic Kernel (SK) is a lightweight SDK that lets you easily mix conventional programming languages with Large Language Model (LLM) AI “prompts”.
In this talk, you will learn:
- What is Semantic Kernel and its main components
- How to use Semantic Kernel with Azure OpenAI API to add ChatGPT and other LLM features to your existing application
- How to create complex skills with prompt templating and function chaining
- How to use ready-to-use skills or create your own skills for various applications
By the end of this talk, you will know how to build AI-first apps faster and more easily with Semantic Kernel and LLMs.
