AITravelAgentUsingGithubModelAndSemanticKernelSDK

This project/repo is to explore the Semantic Kernel SDK and OpenAI/Supported Model using GitHub Models.
Most of the steps can be followed by MS Learning as below:

Guided project - Create an AI travel agent

Setup and run the Codebase

Recommended to use Visual Studio 2022 with .NET 9.0 SDK

1. Install the nuget packages as below:

dotnet add package  Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.UserSecrets --version 9.0.1
dotnet add package  Microsoft.SemanticKernel --version 1.33.0
dotnet add package  Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Plugins.Core --version 1.33.0-alpha
dotnet add package  Microsoft.SemanticKernel.PromptTemplates.Handlebars --version 1.33.0

2. And build the project or rebuild the solution:

dotnet build

3. To access the above GitHub Models, you need to create a GitHub PAT (Generate a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT))
   and Set in Environment Variable on local machine in using commands as below:

dotnet user-secrets init
dotnet user-secrets set "GH_PAT" "< PAT >"

4. In the terminal, run the project with the command:

dotnet run
