Thanks for the info Will. Every tutorial I've seen on Semantic Kernel (including yours) relies on an Azure OpenAI subscription, but you only briefly mention the application process. It seems that us common folk are not eligible for access to Azure OpenAI. Microsoft's application form says it's restricted to approved enterprise customers and partners. Business email address & website are a couple of the required fields. I currently do not have either of these. I read that connecting directly to an OpenAI account is an option. But I have not seen any information online detailing how to do it. Any clues?
Hi Dave! I've created a new video on using OpenAI API with Semantic Kernel here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rdDwSdNh2A4.html Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
you started by creating a .NET 8 project? I can't find that project template available and I have installed the latest version of .net 8 sdk. Is it called something else by chance?
As someone else pointed out , a lot of these examples use Azure or OpenAI. Is it also possible to use a local AI using ollama. Because I tried but it seems OpenAI or Azure is baked into the code of Semantic kernel assistants.
@@willvelida Thank you for getting back to me! Enjoy your holiday, and take your time. I appreciate your willingness to create a video on the requested topic.
Hey! Yes you can use the Semantic Kernel with Python: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/semantic-kernel/get-started/quick-start-guide?tabs=python I'll try and do a Python version for this video soon!
