Join us for the next session of Eug Dot Net, where Joel Southall will walk us through building a custom chatbot using Blazor and OpenAI’s powerful language model API.
In this hands-on presentation, Joel will introduce BlazorPhilosobot, a chatbot that blends .NET web development with AI and persona-driven interaction. You’ll see how to take a basic Blazor project and transform it into a conversational app with its own voice, including how to integrate the OpenAI API, create custom personas, and craft meaningful system prompts.
Whether you're new to Blazor, curious about AI, or looking for a cool full-stack project, this session will give you a practical, creative launchpad to build your own chatbot (and understand what makes it tick).
This event is open to both UO students and the general public. Come along, whether you're just starting out or you're an experienced developer looking to explore what’s possible at the intersection of .NET and AI.
