If you’ve not heard about Semantic Kernel, it is an open-source SDK, which bridges the gap between AI and native code.

At its core, SK, which is short for Semantic Kernel serves an orchestration layer and provides us with a single SDK for developing Generative AI applications. Let’s say you’re creating a chatbot which needs SDK to call OpenAI API. Semantic Kernel lets you do that by exposing all the required interfaces/classes like OpenAIChatCompletion and AzureTextCompletion to interact directly with the API. This is just an example, there are lot many things we can do using SK.
