dotnet presents insights from Mark Miller on creating seamless AI agents in C# that move beyond chat-based assistants. This session teaches practical strategies for designing responsive, context-aware AI tools and integrating them into .NET applications.

Designing Seamless AI Agents with C#: One Question, One Answer Model

Presented by Mark Miller (DevExpress, creator of CodeRush & AiGen) at .NET Conf 2025

AI assistants often require chat-like iterative processes, which can disrupt user flow and place a burden on the end-user. In this session, Mark Miller introduces a “single-question, single-response” approach for C# developers aiming to create AI agents with seamless, immediate impact.

Key Takeaways

  • The One-Question, One-Answer + Delta Model:
    • AI agents respond with the right solution the first time, minimizing iterative chat and reducing user interaction overhead.
    • Outperforms traditional chat-based designs by accelerating workflows and boosting accuracy.
  • Context Injection for Better Results:
    • Feeding AI agents the right context instantly ensures more reliable, relevant outputs in less time.
    • Techniques for context engineering in C# and .NET applications.
  • UX and Design Principles:
    • Design strategies that make AI-powered apps more helpful and enjoyable.
    • Extending concepts from coding assistants to productivity and enterprise environments.
  • Proven AI Patterns in Practice:
    • Real-world architecture for embedding AI features directly into .NET apps.
    • Patterns for trust, reliability, and seamless user experience.

Who Should Watch?

  • Developers interested in the next wave of pair programming with AI.
  • Engineers embedding AI features into .NET/C# projects.
  • Product teams aiming to provide intuitive, efficient AI experiences.
