Hi and welcome to the course AI in
C# using Microsoft Agent Framework.
My name is Rasmus and I will be
taking you through how you can use AI
in C# using Microsoft Agent Framework.
The content will revolve around what I call
the four main concepts of AI.
That will lay the foundation for you when
working with AI.
It's like 95% of everything you would
do.
Those four concepts are chats, tools, structured output
and retrieval, augmented generation or RAC for short.
We will get into these topics in later
sections.
In order to follow along in the course,
I expect you to be proficient in
C#.
Meaning that I will teach you all the
AI parts, but I will assume that you
know C# language fully.
You will of course need an IDE like
for example Visual Studio or similar.
I will personally be using Visual Studio 2026
throughout the course.
Finally, you will need to access a large
language model.
If you don't already have that, don't worry,
I will show you how to get access.
This will of course cost you a bit
of money.
We will talk about cost in a future
lecture as well.
During the course, I will be demoing primarily
Azure OpenAI and OpenAI.
So again, welcome and let's get started.
