.NET AI Community Standup: Why Orleans for AI Agents
Join Bruno Capuano and Konstantin Semenenko for a deep dive into building AI agents with .NET and Orleans. As AI applications evolve from simple prompts to complex, stateful systems, developers need architectures that can manage long-running conversations, coordinate distributed workloads, and operate reliably at scale. Orleans provides a powerful virtual actor model that naturally maps to the way modern AI agents think, act, and collaborate. In this session, Bruno and Konstantin will explore how Orleans enables scalable agent-based systems, simplifies state management, and provides a production-ready foundation for orchestrating distributed AI workloads. Through practical examples and real-world experiences, they'll discuss common architectural patterns, design decisions, and operational considerations for building reliable AI-driven applications. Whether you're experimenting with agent frameworks or designing enterprise-scale AI solutions, you'll learn why Orleans is becoming an important technology for developers building the next generation of intelligent systems. 🔗 Links: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/collections/m2dqt7t0xz0yww?source=docs 🎙️ Featuring: Bruno Capuano (https://www.linkedin.com/in/elbruno), Konstantin Semenenko (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ksemenenk0/) #DotNet #AIAgents #Orleans
