CODE Presents: Intro to AI with MS Semantic Kernel

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! 00:00:00 Livestream Timer 00:04:02 Introduction 00:09:40 Agenda 00:10:05 What is Semantic Kernel? 00:10:40 Why a framework? 00:12:19 Which frameworks to care about? 00:13:40 What's in these frameworks? 00:22:45 Intro to Semantic Kernel 00:23:15 Functions 00:26:45 Semantic Functions - Templated Prompts 00:29:16 Native Functions (C# Code) 00:32:44 Pipelines (Chaining) 00:33:37 Function Examples (Inline Demo) 00:43:40 Function Examples (Basic Demo) 00:48:54 Function Examples (Native Demo) 00:50:20 Function Examples (Pipeline Demo) 00:53:46 Function Examples (Memories Demo) 01:06:36 Function Examples (Text Chukers Demo) 01:08:50 Function Examples (Planners Demo) 01:15:20 Memories 01:16:49 Plugins 01:21:46 Planner 01:23:55 Recap 01:25:41 Conclusion
