Build your own course assistant with AI

on YouTube ↗47m

" summary

Builds a .NET console course assistant using Semantic Kernel and Azure OpenAI Service, with interactive .NET notebooks for data prep. Lecture transcripts and notes are converted to JSON, turned into embeddings and saved into a vector store (Quadrant) so the app performs retrieval-augmented generation. Demo shows queries about course material returning sourced summaries; it fails on live data like Seattle weather unless a plugin is added to fetch external info.
