AI Engineering for Intelligent .NET Systems: RAG, Agents & Enterprise Integration

Description

This course explores how to design and build intelligent, AI-powered applications within .NET ecosystems using modern techniques such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), agent-based workflows, and enterprise-grade AI integration. Participants will learn how to extend ASP.NET Core systems with large language models, connect AI to structured and unstructured data sources, and orchestrate multi-step reasoning using agents. The course emphasizes practical implementation using Azure OpenAI, Semantic Kernel, and vector-based retrieval, enabling the development of scalable, secure, and production-ready AI features. Through hands-on exercises, learners will build end-to-end intelligent services that go beyond traditional APIs.

 

🕒 Duration: 8 hours
