Looking to the year ahead, we’ve got some great updates coming for .NET developers working with artificial intelligence (Check out Our Vision for .NET 9 to learn more). If you’ve been thinking of infusing your existing .NET apps with generative AI & Large Language Models (LLMs), now is a great time to dive in and we have new quickstarts to help you out.
Get hands on and learn AI using new .NET quickstarts
We’ve just released a new set of quickstarts that you can use with large language models from OpenAI (more models are also coming soon):
Summarize text
Build a chat app
Create an app to chat about your data
Execute a local .NET function
Generate images
Each quickstart takes you step-by-step through the code you need to accomplish the topic, using the Azure OpenAI SDK. Very soon we’ll also include versions of these samples using the Semantic Kernel SDK (we’ll share a post here when these are ready).
Learn more about the core concepts
If ChatGPT, LLMs, models, and OpenAI are terms that are new to you or you’re just starting out in this space, here are a few additional resources you can use to help learn the core concepts and explore further:
Get started with OpenAI in .NET – Blog series overview of using OpenAI with .NET (other posts in the series included below):
Get started with OpenAI Completions with .NET – An intro to completions from with OpenAI, the responses generated by a model like GPT.
Level up your GPT game with prompt engineering – An introduction to prompt engineering, how to refine them, and get more relevant results.
Get started with ChatGPT in .NET – Describes what is ChatGPT and core concepts like roles and chat history.

Share your feedback and connect with our team
In the weeks ahead, we’ll continue to share out AI tutorials, samples and other resources on this blog (keep a watch on our AI category.
As you continue on your AI explorations with .NET, let us know how it’s going – we’d love to learn from you about how we can make it fun and easy for you to integrate AI into your applications. Please take the .NET + AI developer survey. Your feedback really helps us make sure we’re focusing on the right work.
