Local-first AI Agents in C#: Foundry Local, MEAI, and Microsoft Agent Framework

Hi! If you are building local AI apps in C#, you quickly hit a practical gap: That is exactly why I created this library Why I created this I wanted a clean, non-REST, in-process integration where: So the library provides a thin adapter: Foundry Local SDK -> FoundryLocalChatClientAdapter -> IChatClient This lets you write provider-agnostic app code while still running local… — read more

Building Cross-Framework Agents with MAF, A2A, NVIDIA NeMo, and Aspire

Hi! What happens when a Python-based AI agent and a .NET-based AI agent need to work together? That is the idea behind MAF-A2A-NVIDIA-NemoAgents (https://github.com/elbruno/MAF-A2A-NVIDIA-NemoAgents-private): a reference app that shows how to combine NVIDIA NeMo Agent Toolkit, Microsoft Agent Framework, Agent-to-Agent communication, and Aspire into one multi-agent workflow. The repo describes itself as a production-ready sample… — read more

I Built a .NET 10 Knowledge Graph Builder (Inspired by Karpathy)

Hi! Earlier this year, Andrej Karpathy tweeted about using LLMs as “knowledge compilers” — a mind-bending idea: instead of asking an LLM questions, feed it raw data (papers, code, images) and let it automatically build a structured, navigable knowledge base. No RAG. No vector databases. Just pure understanding compiled into a graph. Then I saw @socialwithaayan showcase graphify —… — read more
