What you'll learn

Adding AI to an existing web API usually starts with a single SDK call and turns into a mess: responses with no grounding, no input validation, and no way to tell what the model did or what it cost.

In this course, Building AI-augmented ASP.NET Core 10 Web APIs, you’ll gain the ability to wire up AI capabilities across a real API using the abstractions in the .NET 10 stack.

First, you’ll explore LLM integration with IChatClient and real-time token streaming through server-sent events.

Next, you’ll discover how to ground responses in your own data with retrieval-augmented generation and vector stores, then expose server-side actions as AI-callable tools with validation and authorization.

Finally, you’ll learn how to publish tools through Model Context Protocol, defend against prompt injection, add telemetry for token usage and latency, and build multi-step agentic workflows that coordinate all of it in a single request.

When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of AI-augmented API development needed to add streaming, retrieval, tool calling, and agentic workflows to your own ASP.NET Core 10 web APIs.
