Getting Started with Azure AI in .NET
Azure AI offers a comprehensive suite of services to infuse intelligence into your .NET applications. From machine learning to cognitive services, empower your solutions with advanced AI capabilities.
Key Azure AI Services for .NET
Azure Machine Learning
Build, train, and deploy machine learning models with Azure's scalable cloud platform. Seamless integration with .NET for real-time inference.
Azure Cognitive Services
Add intelligent capabilities like vision, speech, language, and decision-making to your applications using pre-built APIs.
Azure Bot Service
Develop and deploy intelligent bots that can interact with users across various channels using natural language understanding.
Azure Databricks

Example: Using Azure AI Vision in a .NET App
Here's a simplified C# snippet demonstrating how to use Azure AI Vision's Read API to extract text from an image.
using Azure.AI.Vision.ImageAnalysis;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
public class ImageAnalyzer
{
public async Task<string> AnalyzeImageForTextAsync(string imagePath, string endpoint, string apiKey)
{
var client = new ImageAnalysisClient(
new Uri(endpoint),
new AzureKeyCredential(apiKey));
using (var stream = File.OpenRead(imagePath))
{
var result = await client.AnalyzeAsync(
stream,
VisualFeatures.Read);
if (result.Read.Content !=null)
{
return result.Read.Content;
}
else
{
return "No text detected.";
}
}
}
}
