Use Semantic Kernel to build AI Apps and Agents - a simple intro!

In this video, we'll explore how to use the Semantic Kernel SDK to build AI powered apps, agents or tools. Semantic Kernel is available for .NET/C#, Python and Java. We'll learn about Semantic Kernel concepts like the Kernel, AI Services, Plugins, Planning, and Personas. Together we'll code an AI agent step by step that can retrieve and archive current news stories – a task most AI models are terrible at due to out of date training data. We’ll also learn why you’d want to use Semantic Kernel in the first place over other SDKs. Let’s get started.
