Welcome to the Semantic Kernel for Java. For detailed documentation, visitMicrosoft Learn.

Semantic Kernel is an SDK that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) likeOpenAI,Azure OpenAI, andHugging Facewith conventional programming languages like C#, Python, and Java. Semantic Kernel achieves this by allowing you to defineplugins that can be chained together in just afew lines of code.

What makes Semantic Kernelspecial, however, is its ability toautomatically orchestrate plugins with AI. With Semantic Kernelplanners, you can ask an LLM to generate a plan that achieves a user's unique goal. Afterwards, Semantic Kernel will execute the plan for the user.

For C#, Python and other language support, seemicrosoft/semantic-kernel.

The quickest way to get started with the basics is to get an API key from either OpenAI or Azure OpenAI and to run one of the Java console applications/scripts below.
