Start With the Task. Then Add the AI.

AI INTEGRATION

An AI feature is most useful when it helps a person complete a specific task. Answering questions about application content, summarizing text or preparing a draft are clearer starting points than adding a general chatbot without a defined purpose.

Start with the user’s task

Describe what goes into the feature and what a useful response looks like. Decide whether the person needs an answer, a structured result or a draft they can review.

Connect through the backend

In an ASP.NET MVC/Core application, an integration layer can prepare prompts, call a model and process the response. Semantic Kernel can help organize prompt orchestration alongside application logic.

Make uncertainty visible

Model responses can be incomplete or incorrect. Give users a way to review important outputs, and avoid presenting generated content as verified information when the system has not checked it.

Evaluate realistic examples

Try representative questions, missing information and unexpected input. Compare the results with the original task, then adjust the integration based on whether it actually helps the user finish their work.
