Add Gen AI to your existing .NET apps with Semantic Kernel & Azure SQL

This is a recording of the November 12, 2024 meeting.

Probably you've seen the many ways that Gen AI technology is being put to use - but it also seems complicated and there seem to be so many new technologies to assimilate. Is that the only way to go? What about incorporating Gen AI into existing applications?

Imagine you have an existing application built using significant C# and Azure SQL Database. We will meet you where you are and talk about how technologies like Semantic Kernel (which supports coding in C#/.NET, among other languages) and Azure SQL Database can help you integrate AI features into your application (related to this recent announcement). If there's time we will also delve into some quick wins with .NET Smart Components.
