Slide 3: Project Overview

• Objective:
  • Develop an innovative solution integrating Semantic Kernel and Azure AI.
• Key Technologies:
  • Semantic Kernel: For semantic processing and AI integration
  • Azure AI: To enhance scalability and performance
• Hackathon Goals:
  • Demonstrate rapid prototyping and advanced integration techniques
• Unique Selling Points:
  • Dynamic plugin management using DI (AddSingleton, AddScoped, AddTransient)

Slide 4: Semantic Kernel Overview

• What is Semantic Kernel?
  • A framework to integrate semantic capabilities into your application.
• Core Features:
  • Language understanding
  • Knowledge integration
  • Native plugin support for extended functionality
• Documentation Reference:
  • Semantic Kernel Concepts

Slide 5: Azure AI Integration

• Overview of Azure AI:
  • A suite of AI services enhancing cognitive capabilities.
• Key Benefits:
  • Scalability
  • Robust performance
  • Seamless integration with Semantic Kernel
• Impact on Project:
  • Improved accuracy in semantic processing
  • Enhanced overall user experience

Slide 6: Dependency Injection & Plugin Management

• Singleton Injection:
  • Utilizes AddSingleton to initialize and reuse a single instance of Semantic Kernel.
• Other DI Methods:
  • AddScoped: Manages per-request instances (e.g., specific plugins)
  • AddTransient: Creates a new instance per usage
• Why This Matters:
  • Ensures optimal resource management and application performance.
• Reference Example:
  • Adding Native Plugins

Slide 7: Architecture Diagram

• Diagram Elements:
  • Semantic Kernel Initialization: Registered via AddSingleton
  • Plugin Registration: Managed using AddScoped and AddTransient
  • Integration Flow:
  • User requests → Application services → Semantic Kernel → Azure AI responses
• Explanation:
  • Visual walkthrough of how components interact and support dynamic plugin behavior.

Slide 8: Code Implementation Highlights

• Service Configuration:

  • Code snippet showing DI setup:

  // Register Semantic Kernel as a Singleton
  services.AddSingleton<SemanticKernel>(sp => new SemanticKernel());
  
  // Register plugins with different lifetimes
  services.AddScoped<IPlugin, ScopedPlugin>();
  services.AddTransient<IPlugin, TransientPlugin>();
  

• Key Points:

  • Centralized initialization of Semantic Kernel
  • Flexible plugin injection for customized behavior
  • Optimized performance via proper lifecycle management
