Microsoft Foundry on Windows is the platform for AI development on Windows. The Windows AI APIs are 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 new AI features in Windows and how to integrate them into a WinUI or WPF application using C# and the Windows App SDK.

We'll explore:

• Phi Silica local model: 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.

You will learn:

• How to build apps with local models in Foundry.
• About upscale images and video with local models.
• How to get started with AI on Windows quickly with the AI Dev Gallery app.
