Microsoft's free, open-source (MIT) development kit for C#, Python and Java that connects application code to AI models through a kernel, plugins, function calling, memory and connectors.
Semantic Kernel is a free, open-source kit that lets your code talk to a large language model and lets the model call your code back. · Semantic Kernel - Simply Explained
For years, PowerShell scripts were the foundation of Microsoft 365 automation. IT admins built massive script libraries to onboard users, assign licenses, provision devices, configure Exchange, manage permissions, and automate repetitive operational work…
Tired of chatbots that answer Intune incidents with poetry instead of fixes? In this episode, we go hands-on with Azure AI Foundry and Semantic Kernel to build a mini, self-healing, governed multi-agent system for enterprise IT. You’ll learn why single agents…
AI agents are everywhere in headlines, yet few people can explain what they are or which framework to build them with. This episode is for developers, IT leaders and business decision makers exploring agents in Microsoft environments. You learn what Microsoft…
This episode explains the real difference between automation and agents, cutting through the confusion created by marketing and buzzwords. Automation is framed as rigid and repetitive, useful for consistent, rule-based tasks but incapable of adapting when…
Learn what Microsoft's Semantic Kernel is, how plugins and function calling work, and how to connect your code to LLMs. Plain English guide. Semantic Kernel is the layer under Microsoft's AI tools that almost nobody explains. It's a free, open-source kit that…
You’re wasting AI on small talk. In this session I show you how to turn chatty models into hardened IT ops agents that actually fix incidents while you sleep. We wire Semantic Kernel, MCP, Microsoft Graph and Azure OpenAI with managed identity so agents can…
