Building an AI Agent Platform in .NET 10 with GitHub Copilot

2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (UTC)

In this session we will build a fully connected .NET 10 solution that will be the core of OpenClawNet. We will wire up .NET Aspire for service orchestration, build the Gateway API using Minimal APIs, add real-time chat with SignalR, create a Blazor web UI, connect to Ollama for local AI inference, and persist chat history with SQLite and EF Core. At the end we will have a fully functional local chatbot in your browser. Send a message, watch it stream back from your local LLM, and see it persist to the database. A solid foundation for everything that comes next. Key Topics & Technologies: Solution architecture and project organization Aspire service orchestration and health checks ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs and endpoint design SignalR for real-time WebSocket communication Blazor (Server-side rendering) for interactive UI Ollama integration for local LLM inference SQLite with EF Core for session persistence Gateway routing and middleware

2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (UTC)

In this session we will transform our chatbot into an intelligent agent that can call tools to interact with the outside world. We will build a tool framework with ITool, IToolRegistry, and IToolExecutor interfaces, and implement production-ready tools for file system access, shell commands, web fetching, and task scheduling — all with built-in security guardrails. At the end we will have an agent that reasons through multi-step tasks on its own. Ask it to "Summarize my project's README" or "Check what's in my Downloads folder" — it will break the problem into steps, call the right tools, and report back. Key Topics & Technologies: Agent orchestration and reasoning loops Tool abstraction and design patterns Security considerations (path traversal, command injection, SSRF) Tool UI and result streaming LLM function calling protocol Dependency injection and service registration Structured logging and observability hooks
