This session will take you through the fascinating journey of integrating AI models within .NET applications. We'll start with an introduction to various AI models, including Phi-3, and proceed with a practical scenario: a Winform Chat application with a .NET API Backend, leveraging Aspire for orchestration and telemetry.

You'll learn how to enhance your application with Semantic Kernel to support chat capabilities using Phi-3 locally, transition to Azure AI for cloud deployment, and expand functionalities with Phi-3 Vision for image analysis and GPT-4o for advanced chat interactions.

Additionally, we'll integrate RAG capabilities to connect the chat with a real database.
