Free AI Integrations with .NET Core
This repository contains a collection of AI-powered applications built with .NET Core and C#, inspired by Murat Yücedað's Udemy course:
"AI Integrations with C# and .NET"
Unlike the original course, which uses OpenAI, this project uses free AI APIs like HuggingFace, AssemblyAI, ElevenLabs, RapidAPI, OCR.Space, and more — making it accessible without paid subscriptions.
Some projects are web applications and others are console applications, showcasing various real-world use cases.
Purpose
To demonstrate how to integrate powerful, real-world AI services into .NET Core applications without relying on paid providers like OpenAI.
Technologies Used
- .NET Core 8.0
- C#
- ASP.NET Core MVC
- Console Applications
- REST APIs & HttpClient
- JSON & Async/Await
- External APIs (HuggingFace, AssemblyAI, ElevenLabs, OCR.Space, RapidAPI, NewsAPI, etc.)
