Creating Multi-Language AI-Powered Apps w/ Rust, Python & Blazor | TJ Gokken | SSW User Groups

Let’s do some polyglot programming. We’ll create a modern system diagnostics tool called HAL (Hardware Assistant that Learns). We’ll combine Rust’s system-level performance, Python’s AI capabilities with AutoGen, a multi-agent framework, and Blazor’s modern web interface into a cohesive application.
Key Takeaways:

Inter-process communication between Rust, Python, and .NET
Understand when and why to use different languages in AI applications
Learn to implement Microsoft’s AutoGen for multi-agent AI systems
