The Windows Copilot Runtime (WCR) is a set of AI APIs in the Windows App SDK that enable powerful, local AI capabilities in your Windows apps. In this session, we'll explore the features of the WCR and how to integrate them into a WinUI application using C#.

We'll explore:

• Phi Silica APIs: The Phi models are small language models (SLMs) from Microsoft Research designed to run locally on Windows devices with a neural processing unit (NPU). With the Phi Silica APIs, your app can execute local text generation and conversion like ChatGPT performs in the cloud.
• Text Recognition APIs: Windows App SDK includes optical character recognition (OCR) APIs for converting documents and images into text.
• Imaging APIs: See how to scale images and detect objects with these APIs.
• Recall: Use the User Activity API to help users resume activity in your app by leveraging Recall on Copilot+ PCs with an NPU.

We'll also take a tour of the AI Dev Gallery app, which includes sample apps and code for using AI with language, images, speech, and more.
