Who Is Really the Main Pilot? Building Smarter Apps with Microsoft Copilot Studio and .NET,
Are you steering your software development, or is AI taking the controls? In this thought-provoking session, we explore how Microsoft is reshaping the developer experience with intelligent tools and AI-powered integrations.
This talk will challenge your assumptions and equip you with practical insights into:
Microsoft Copilot Everywhere: Discover how Copilot is transforming productivity across GitHub, Microsoft 365, and Azure, and how developers can extend its capabilities.
Semantic Kernel and AI Integration: Learn to embed reasoning and contextual intelligence into your .NET applications using Semantic Kernel and the latest AI building blocks.
The AI-First Strategy Behind .NET 9: Explore how Microsoft is aligning .NET with its broader AI vision, including new abstractions for language models, vector data, and generative workflows.
Through live demonstrations, you'll see how to integrate Semantic Kernel into a C# backend, use GitHub Copilot to accelerate .NET development, and build a cloud-native .NET 9 app with AI-enhanced features.
Key Takeaways:
"AI won’t replace developers, but developers who embrace AI will lead the future."
"The AI-first strategy behind .NET 9 will align your career with future growth."
Who should attend:
Beginners and experienced .NET developers, architects, cloud engineers, and anyone curious about building smarter, AI-enhanced applications with Microsoft technologies.
The AI in Your Pocket: Building Offline Gemini Apps with the Browser
Cloud-based AI is powerful, but what about the user who needs instant results, is privacy-conscious, or has limited connectivity? This talk explores a groundbreaking approach to bringing Gemini Nano directly to the browser, enabling a new class of offline-first, off-device web applications and Chrome Extensions.
We'll dive into the architecture of this solution and demonstrate how to leverage the suite of built-in AI APIs that make this possible:
The Prompt API: The core of on-device generative AI. We'll show you how to send natural language requests to Gemini Nano for seamless, local generation.
The Translator & Language Detector APIs: Enable real-time, on-demand translation of user-generated content without leaving the device.
The Summarizer API: Condense long-form content instantly, perfect for quickly digesting meeting transcripts or forum discussions.
The Writer & Rewriter APIs: Empower your users to create new content or refine existing text by adjusting tone, length, or style, all offline.
The Proofreader API: Provide interactive, on-the-fly corrections for documents and messages, ensuring grammatically correct communication.
Join us to learn how to build, test, and debug on-device AI features. By the end of this session, you'll have the knowledge to create next-generation, high-performance, and privacy-centric AI experiences that work seamlessly whether your users are online or offline.
Bridging Worlds: Crafting a Cultural StoryBot with the Gemini API and Google Cloud for .NET
Abstract / Short Description (for review committees):
This session demonstrates how to build a context-aware, cross-cultural virtual assistant—the "Lagos<>Sheffield VibeBot"—using the Gemini API and a .NET backend on Google Cloud. I will walk developers through a practical, storytelling-driven journey: from grounding the AI with custom cultural data (exploring everything from Nigerian jollof to Sheffield's steel heritage) using Vertex AI Search, to deploying a scalable and optimized .NET application on Google Cloud Run.
Attendees will leave with a clear, replicable blueprint for creating their own intelligent, conversational agents that can tell compelling stories and connect communities. This talk moves beyond basic API calls to tackle real-world challenges like data grounding, performance optimization, and creating culturally nuanced user experiences. It’s a perfect fit for developers passionate about the creative and practical applications of modern AI.
Key Takeaways / Audience Benefits:
* Build a Conversational AI: Master the fundamentals of using the Gemini API to create rich, multi-turn dialogues in .NET.
* Ground AI in Your World: Learn to connect powerful AI models with custom, real-world data using Vertex AI Search for authentic responses.
* Master .NET on Google Cloud: Gain practical skills for deploying, scaling, and optimizing .NET applications on serverless infrastructure like Google Cloud Run.
* Tell Stories with Code: Discover a novel approach to application development that focuses on forging cultural connections and engaging users through narrative.
Firebase: An Ecosystem for Mobile and Web Apps
Google Firebase is undeniably one of the most common cloud tools that offer web and mobile developers the ease of running resources on the cloud without advanced Cloud Engineering Skills.
The simplicity of using Firebase CLI tools makes it a top choice for learning and deploying app resources.
This talk will focus on bringing these awesome features to the audience and also discuss various operations and possible integrations.
Key entities: Hosting, FireStore and authentication.
Android Essentials (Security, Package Size and Permissions)
The Android Operating System has been available for 10 years and lots have gone down the lane in ensuring the security of the kernel and that of apps published on the Google Play Store.
In earlier Android releases, developers have faced challenges peculiar to ensuring security for their API keys, databases, sensitive constants and most importantly the source codes.
Users’ alike experienced lots of trouble with Adware and other malwares that exploited the Operating system drained the battery and jeopardized their experience for years.
Since, the release of Kitkat, Google has implemented some security tools and rules that protect Android and also the Apps that run on it. However, millions of devices still run on older versions of Android and utilizes previous API levels. This creates a tough choice for developers because of the need to support lower OS versions to accommodate more devices while targeting newer versions.
Furthermore, implementing some security features comes at the expense of an increased app size. The size of an app is a great deal to most users. While there are tools to expressly shrink app sizes before submission, there are some best-practices that can ensure an optimized process.
This paper/Session discusses the various tools and implementations that Google and partners have made and how OEMs and Developers can leverage on these to ensure a safe and better User Experience for Android and Chrome OS users.
