1-on-1 Mentor On YOUR code Measurable results

AI is no longer an experiment. It is a competitive advantage for companies that know how to integrate it into their products and processes.

But the difference between "using ChatGPT" and integrating AI into your own .NET applications is enormous. The first is a commodity. The second is a strategic asset your competitors do not have.

This programme is for .NET teams who want to integrate generative AI, LLMs and Machine Learning into their applications, not as a gimmick, but as core functionality that generates real business value.

PHASE 1: AI Foundations for Developers (Weeks 1-4)

  1. 1

    AI for Developers: understand what you use before you use it

    You do not need to become a data scientist to integrate AI into your .NET applications. But using LLMs without understanding how they work leads to costly choices and unreliable output. Here we build the technical foundation every .NET developer needs to make good decisions.

    Programma

    • Training, inference and fine-tuningHow AI models work and what that means for the technical decisions you make every day
    • Transformer architectureHow GPT, Claude and Gemini work, it is not magic, it is a system you can use consciously
    • Prompt engineeringHow to write prompts that produce reliable and repeatable output, reducing hallucinations
    • Tokens, context and temperatureHow these parameters determine the quality, cost and behaviour of every API call
    • Real cost of AI integrationHow to calculate token budgets, forecast API calls and compare providers
    • When AI adds valueHow to identify genuine use cases and discard the hype that burns months of development

    Risultato

    You understand AI as a developer. You know what is possible, what it costs and when it makes sense to integrate it into your product.

  2. 2

    Semantic Kernel: orchestrate AI with structured C# code

    Semantic Kernel is the Microsoft SDK for orchestrating AI in .NET. Calling an LLM with concatenated strings is a prototype, not a product: Semantic Kernel transforms calls into structured, maintainable functionality. Here you learn to use it to build AI logic that lasts.

    Programma

    • Multi-provider configurationHow to connect OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Ollama and local models from a single unified API
    • C# plugins for AIHow to create C# functions that AI can invoke autonomously, turning your business logic into tools
    • Planner for complex tasksHow to make AI decompose a goal into steps and execute them in sequence
    • Memory with embeddingsHow to add persistent context to conversations without blowing up the token budget
    • Chat history managementHow to accumulate context in a controlled way avoiding wasted tokens
    • Filters for security and loggingHow to intercept AI input and output at a single centralised point

    Risultato

    AI orchestrated in .NET with structured patterns. Your applications call LLMs reliably, not with concatenated strings and hope.

  3. 3

    Azure OpenAI: enterprise production with SLA and compliance

    Azure OpenAI is the enterprise version of OpenAI with European compliance, SLA and data residency. For enterprise applications with sensitive data, Azure OpenAI has no equal in terms of reliability and regulatory compliance. Here you learn to use it for real production scenarios with real users.

    Programma

    • Chat Completion with GPT-4How to use system prompts and role messages for consistent, controlled output in production
    • Embeddings for semantic searchHow to vectorise text to build enterprise chatbots and search systems
    • Function CallingHow to make AI call your APIs, update databases and send emails, not just answer questions
    • DALL-E and WhisperHow to integrate image generation and audio transcription into your .NET applications
    • API call resilienceHow to handle rate limiting and retry policies to avoid timeouts that block users
    • Content filtering on AzureHow to automatically block inappropriate output guaranteeing GDPR compliance

    Risultato

    Enterprise-grade generative AI. OpenAI calls are secure, resilient and compliant with company policies. You are ready for production.

  4. 4

    ML.NET: native machine learning without Python

    Not everything requires an LLM. For classification, anomaly detection and numerical prediction, ML.NET is the native .NET solution. No Python, no cloud, no dedicated data scientist: everything inside your existing .NET project. Here you learn when to use it and how to deploy it in production.

    Programma

    • Complete ML.NET pipelineHow to load data, train, evaluate and deploy a model without leaving .NET
    • Automatic classificationHow to classify documents, emails and support tickets with a model trained on your data
    • Predictive regressionHow to forecast numerical values like future demand, customer risk or delivery times
    • Anomaly detectionHow to detect fraud, machine failures and abnormal behaviour before they cause damage
    • Model Builder in Visual StudioHow to train guided models without writing ML code, in a few clicks
    • Deployment as a .NET APIHow to integrate the model as a service with inference in milliseconds

    Risultato

    Native machine learning in .NET. You classify, predict and detect anomalies without Python, without cloud and without a dedicated data scientist.

PHASE 2: Advanced Scenarios and Production (Weeks 5-8)

  1. 5

    RAG Pattern: AI that answers from your company data

    The RAG pattern allows AI to answer questions about your company documents, knowledge base and technical manuals. It is the most requested use case, but building it badly produces chatbots that invent answers worse than not having it at all. Here you learn the correct architecture from indexing to verifiable responses.

    Programma

    • Complete RAG architectureHow to index documents, retrieve relevant chunks and generate accurate, verifiable responses
    • Choosing the vector databaseHow to decide between Qdrant, ChromaDB and Azure AI Search based on data volume and requirements
    • Optimal chunking strategyHow to split documents to maximise answer relevance, not at random
    • Embedding model for language and domainHow to choose the right model for your language and specialist sector
    • Semantic rankingHow to optimise result relevance to get the best answers, not just the first ones found
    • End-to-end enterprise chatbotHow to build a system that answers from your internal knowledge base like an always-available expert

    Risultato

    Enterprise chatbots that answer from your data. AI does not invent: it searches your documents and generates accurate, verifiable responses.

  2. 6

    AI-Assisted Development: multiply team productivity

    AI is not just useful in products: it also accelerates development itself. A team that uses GitHub Copilot superficially saves minutes; one that uses it well saves days. Here you learn the advanced techniques that make a real difference to productivity.

    Programma

    • Advanced GitHub CopilotHow to generate entire methods, tests and refactoring with precise prompts, not just autocomplete
    • AI-assisted code reviewHow to find bugs, code smells and architectural violations before the merge
    • Automatic test generationHow to go from zero coverage to a complete suite starting from your public methods
    • Automated documentationHow to keep XML comments, README and API docs up to date without manual effort
    • AI-assisted migrationHow to accelerate conversion from VB to C# and from .NET Framework to .NET 10
    • Verifying AI outputHow to recognise when to trust the result and when to verify manually

    Risultato

    Multiplied productivity. The team writes less boilerplate, receives more feedback and migrates legacy code in less time.

  3. 7

    AI Governance and Quality: total control over output

    AI in production without governance is a concrete legal and reputational risk. A hallucination shown to a user is worth zero technical excuses: the responsibility is yours as the developer. Here you learn to control output, costs and compliance systematically.

    Programma

    • AI output validationHow to verify responses before showing them to users, eliminating dangerous hallucinations
    • Guardrails and topic restrictionHow to implement content filtering so AI only responds on what it should
    • Bias detection and mitigationHow to guarantee fair responses compliant with company and legal policies
    • Token monitoring and budget alertsHow to keep AI costs under control at all times without billing surprises
    • AI call audit trailHow to trace every response to make it verifiable and compliant with regulatory requirements
    • GDPR and AIHow to comply with the regulation by deciding what to send to providers and what to keep on-premise

    Risultato

    Controlled and compliant AI. Output is validated, costs are under control and compliance is guaranteed. Ready for enterprise use.

  4. 8

    Production and Scaling: from prototype to system with thousands of users

    An AI prototype that works in a demo is easy to build. An AI system in production with thousands of concurrent users is something else entirely: latency, costs and failover require specific architectures. Here you learn everything the tutorials do not show.

    Programma

    • Scaling on containersHow to deploy AI systems with automatic scaling from 10 to 10,000 users without changing code
    • Intelligent LLM cachingHow to reduce costs by 60-80% by avoiding identical calls to the provider
    • Background jobs for AIHow to process heavy tasks in a queue without making the user wait in the foreground
    • AI monitoring in productionHow to track latency, error rate and response quality with automatic alerts
    • A/B testing between modelsHow to measure the impact of different prompts and models before applying them to all users
    • Fallback strategyHow to guarantee system operation with graceful degradation when AI does not respond

    Risultato

    AI system in production that scales. Performance is monitored, costs are optimised and fallbacks are handled. From prototype to enterprise product.
