Microsoft.Extensions.AI (Unified AI Abstraction)

The recommended way to integrate AI in .NET apps. Provides a vendor-agnostic abstraction over AI services.

// Install: dotnet add package Microsoft.Extensions.AI
// Provider packages: Microsoft.Extensions.AI.OpenAI, Microsoft.Extensions.AI.AzureAIInference, etc.

using Microsoft.Extensions.AI;

// Register in DI
builder.Services.AddChatClient(new AzureOpenAIClient(
    new Uri(builder.Configuration["AI:Endpoint"]!),
    new DefaultAzureCredential())
    .GetChatClient("gpt-4o"));

// Or with OpenAI directly
