Microsoft Hackathon: Virtual Customer Success Manager (VCSM) using Semantic Kernel
Background on Hackathon Project: Virtual Customer Success Manager (VCSM) Semantic Kernel is a versatile SDK that seamlessly integrates AI models into applications, enhancing their responsiveness and understanding. It offers tools for chat completion, multi-agent coordination, and data retrieval, enabling developers to create advanced AI-driven solutions. The Virtual Customer Success Manager (VCSM), developed during Hackathon ’24, is a C# .NET project powered by Semantic Kernel. VCSM transforms customer support, onboarding, and engagement by providing personalized interactions, proactive assistance, and tailor...
세계로 뻗어갑니다: “G3J Learn Semantic Kernel” 쇼 – 한국어로 배우는 Semantic Kernel!
세계로 뻗어갑니다: "G3J Learn Semantic Kernel" 쇼 – 한국어로 배우는 Semantic Kernel! 최근 빠르게 변화하는 기술 환경에서 개발자들은 지능형 애플리케이션을 구축하기 위한 최신 도구와 프레임워크를 지속적으로 탐색하고 있습니다. 이러한 요구에 맞춰 Microsoft는 자연어 처리와 데이터를 효과적으로 결합한 강력한 프레임워크, Semantic Kernel을 제공합니다. 저희는 최근 Let's Learn .NET 쇼를 통해 Microsoft Learn 모듈의 Semantic Kernel을 성공적으로 방송했습니다. 특히 이번 쇼는 영어 외에도 다양한 언어로 방송하며 전 세계 개발자들이 자신의 언어를 통해 Semantic Kernel을 좀 더 쉽게 접근할 수 있었습니다. 다국어 컨텐츠 이후 다국어로 Semantic Kernel 관련 내용을 방송한 이후, 개발자들 사이에서 현지화한 콘텐츠에 대한 수요가 크게 증가한 것을 확인했습니다. 각 지역의 개발자들이 Semantic Kernel에 대해 더 깊이 배우고자 하는 열정을 보여주었고, 이를 반영하여 저희는 다양한 언어로 더욱 심층적인 학습 콘텐츠를 제공하기로 결정했습니다. 그 첫 번째 시작은 바로 ...
New Function Calling Available in .NET for Semantic Kernel
We are happy to announce release of the new function-calling capabilities available in Semantic Kernel v1.20 (.NET). The new capabilities incorporates the best parts of the existing function-calling, such as ease of use, and improves on it by making it more extensible and reusable. Function calling allows Plugin descriptions to be passed into a model for dynamic planning to occur. The AI model will create a step-by-step plan based on the users ask and based on the function descriptions that are passed into it. Allowing for the right functions to be called, in the right order and used together to solve the...
Observability in Semantic Kernel
Many of you have asked similar questions: These are all excellent questions! They fundamentally belong to the same class of questions: How do I observe Semantic Kernel and, ultimately, my application? Introducing: Observability in Semantic Kernel Semantic Kernel is designed to be observable. It emits logs, metrics, and traces that are compatible to the OpenTelemetry standard. You can use your favorite observability tools to monitor and analyze the behavior of your services built on Semantic Kernel. Logging Semantic Kernel logs meaningful events and errors from the kernel, kernel plugins and f...
