Talk 1: Building Agents with C#
When it comes to building agents with C#, we aren't spoiled for choice. Between Azure AI Foundry, the M365 Agent SDK, and Semantic Kernel, which agent solution should we choose? In this talk, we'll compare different frameworks and discuss which one we should use in which situation (and when we might use a combination of them!)Talk 2: Infuse intelligence into your App with Foundry Local
Foundry Local allows us to run AI models locally on the machine. This session will demonstrate how to use the Foundry Local AI inferencing service to interact with the model and infuse intelligence into the applicationHosts:
