Training Route

Developing AI Agents Using Azure OpenAI and the Semantic Kernel SDK

Learn how to use the Semantic Kernel SDK to develop intelligent applications that automate tasks and perform natural language processing.

• Building the Kernel: This module introduces the Semantic Kernel SDK. Learn how the kernel connects your code to large language models to extend functionality with generative AI.
• Building Semantic Kernel Plugins: This module explores the Semantic Kernel SDK plugins. Learn how SDK plugins are used to perform custom tasks and build intelligent applications.
• Provide skills to your AI agent: This module explores native functions in the Semantic Kernel SDK. Learn how native functions can perform custom tasks, effectively providing your AI agent with a “skill.”
• Combining Messages and Functions: This module shows how to combine functions and requests using the Semantic Kernel SDK. Nesting functions within requests can allow your code to complete tasks that large language models cannot normally complete on their own.
• Using Smart Schedulers: This module introduces different ways to automatically invoke functions using the Semantic Kernel SDK. Learn how schedulers can generate plans to perform tasks and how to tune them to optimize performance.
• Guided Project: Building an AI Travel Agent: This module will guide you through the steps required to develop an AI travel assistant proof of concept using the Semantic Kernel SDK. By the end of this module, you will complete a small chatbot application.

Prerequisites

Familiarity with Visual Studio Code, C# programming, and Azure OpenAI is recommended.
