See all- Move over Python, AI just got a new best friend! .NET!Room JS1-13, Adelaide
AI is no longer just for machine learning experts—it’s ready to plug into your everyday .NET workflows. In this session, you’ll learn how to build a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbot using .NET, and how to implement the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to structure interactions with large language models. We’ll walk through how open-source tools like Ollama make it easy to run models locally, keep your data private, and stay in control. By the end, you’ll understand how to integrate AI into .NET apps using proven techniques and open tools—without reinventing the wheel.
