Content

1 Build your kernel
This module introduces the Semantic Kernel SDK. Learn how the kernel connects code to large language models to extend functionality with generative artificial intelligence.

2 Create plugins for semantic kernel
This module explores Semantic Kernel SDK plugins. Learn how plugins to the SDK are used to accomplish customized tasks and create intelligent applications.

3 Give your AI agent skills
This module explores native functions in the Semantic Kernel SDK. Learn how native functions can accomplish customized tasks, effectively giving your AI agent a "skill."

4 Use intelligent planners
This module introduces different ways to automatically invoke functions using the Semantic Kernel SDK. Learn how planners can generate plans to accomplish tasks and how to fine-tune planners to optimize performance.

5 Guided project – Create an AI travel agent
This module guides you through the steps required to develop a proof-of-concept AI Travel assistant with the Semantic Kernel SDK. By the end of this module, you complete a small chatbot application.

Requirements
  • Experience programming in C#
  • Visual Studio Code IDE installed
  • Familiarity with Azure and the Azure portal
  • Access to Azure OpenAI Services
