Smart UI Powered by AI 🚀

Sam Basu

It is the age of AI and there are some big opportunities for .NET developers - infuse apps with solutions powered by Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), as well as, boost developer productivity. .NET client apps can benefit from AI-powered Smart UI Components, like AI Prompts, Smart Grid/ComboBox search with Local Embeddings and searching/manipulating PDFs with Semantic search. Enterprise workflows often require working with desktop apps and document processing - rich text editing could make users productive with AI-powered completions, while spreadsheets could perform formulations/automations. Web developers could dynamically style web UI components with AI-powered theming or get contextual assistance while writing Blazor code in a browser REPL. Towards developer productivity, GitHub Copilot could be extended with custom chat agents to preserve developer context and get deeply contextual code completions, powered by documentation RAG. Let's explore what's next for AI-powered .NET UI towards wonderful UX and optimized developer productivity tools.

Deep dive on native AOT

Michal Strehovský

Native AOT has been part of .NET since .NET 7. With each release we're extending the areas where it can be used. From console apps in .NET 7, through ASP.NET web APIs in .NET 8, to MAUI in .NET 9. It is your best bet if you need your .NET app to start fast and use as little memory as possible. But how does native AOT actually work? Why does it start so fast? How can we fit an entire .NET runtime, the base class libraries, and your code in a 1 MB executable file? In this talk we'll peek into the internal workings of native AOT compilation and look at what it does at run time.

The force is strong in LLMs - building an open source Star Wars inspired copilot in .NET

Jim Bennett

In the Star Wars universe, many pilots have an astromech copilot. Luke had R2-D2 in the back of his X-Wing for example. As developers, we too have copilots. Although these are not as cool as R2, and don’t help us blow up the Death Star, they do help us with our day to day tasks like writing code. Whilst copilots can be boring, Jim thought it would be fun to create one inspired by Star Wars to help him with important tasks, such as describing his Lego collection (Star Wars Lego of course), and helping him write code, all done in the style of a Jedi. In this session, Jim will walk you through the steps to build your own copilot, using the Pieces .NET SDK. By leveraging this SDK, your copilot can not only access an LLM of your choice from a range of cloud and on-device models such as Microsoft Phi and OpenAI GPT-4o, but you can also add assets to your chat’s context, such as code, documents, and plans for the Death Star. And just like a Jedi can sense the living force, this copilot can sense your presence and answer questions without needing additional documentation, such as summarizing your research on Wookiepedia. And best of all, reply like Yoda, it can! By the end of this session, you will be able to complete your apprenticeship and build your own open source AI copilot.
