the state of .net sdks for ai apis: official, autogenerated, or missing
i build .net clients for ai apis, so i keep a running map of which providers actually support .net developers and which leave them hand-rolling http. the short version: "no .net sdk" is no longer the main problem. the main problem now is autogenerated .net sdks that technically exist but nobody enjoys using. here's the field, in three buckets. bucket 1: official, hand-maintained (the good ones) these vendors treat .net as a first-class citizen. if you're on one of these, you're fine.…
building enterprise multi-agent workflows in .net with mistral
most people know Mistral for its chat models. the part i find more interesting for enterprise work is the Agents API: persistent agents with instructions and tools, stateful conversations you can resume, built-in connectors (web search, code interpreter, document library), and handoffs so one agent can delegate to another. the .net story stops short of this. the community sdks (tghamm's is genuinely good) cover chat completions, embeddings and function calling. they don't cover the agentic…
giving a .net app a voice: building on the elevenlabs agents platform
ElevenLabs is best known for text to speech, but the thing i find most interesting is ElevenAgents: you configure an agent with a prompt, a voice and some tools, and it handles the whole voice loop. speech to text, the llm, turn-taking, interruptions, text to speech. you just open a websocket and talk. they ship sdks for python, typescript, kotlin and swift. nothing for .net. so if you want to build a voice agent from c#, you're hand-rolling the websocket protocol. i didn't want to do that…
what a 2019 api client teaches you about modern .net
i've been playing with SerpApi lately. nice service. one GET request and you get structured json for google, bing, maps, news, shopping and about a hundred other search surfaces. captchas and layout changes handled for you. their python and ruby stories are strong. their .net story is a time capsule. the official google-search-results-dotnet package was written around 2019 and it shows. Hashtable parameters. Newtonsoft.Json. a synchronous api that blocks on Task.Result. not a knock on…
replace bing grounding in azure ai foundry with serpapi!
i needed web search in an ai agent. sounds simple. it's not anymore. microsoft killed the standalone bing search api in august 2025. if you had an app calling it, it just stopped working. the official replacement is "grounding with bing search" inside azure ai foundry. i tried it, got frustrated, and ended up with serpapi instead. here's why. the foundry way you create a bing grounding resource in azure, connect it to your foundry project, add it as a tool to your agent. the agent…
Lenduck — SME Financing Marketplace
Getting a business loan is painful. You visit your bank. They ask for two years of financials. You wait three weeks. Then you repeat at the next bank. And the next. Most SMEs just accept whatever their bank offers. Not because it's the best deal. Because finding out is exhausting. I built Lenduck to fix that. The idea Your accounting software already has everything a lender needs to make a decision. Revenue, cash flow, invoices, margins. It's all there. Lenduck just connects the…
