Good question! The docs say that Android + Windows support is coming. Maybe @davidortinau could provide some more insight to its timeline? learn.microsoft.com/en-us/do…

Your LLM will eventually say something you really don't want it to say. In .NET we can now unit test for that 💯 `ViolenceEvaluator` scores every response 0-7, and my test fails above a 1. `Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Eval…` also catches Hate, Self-Harm + Prompt Injection before users ever see them. Full walkthrough 👇 codetraveler.io/2026/08/10/e…

Hello C# Friends!! Has anybody tried @cognee_ with @claude_code? It's pretty cool!👇
We gave @Claude Code a memory that survives every session. @TheCodeTraveler ran the same test twice on a real .NET API. Without cognee, a new session forgets every team rule. With our plugin, the agent answers from the knowledge graph. Full video: piped.video/16386vE40js

"It works on my prompt" is the new "works on my machine" Here's how to unit test an LLM that never gives the same response twice, using `Microsoft Extensions AI Evaluation`: ✅ Pre-trained LLMs grades the response ✅ EquivalenceEvaluator scores 1-5 How are you testing the AI features in your apps today? codetraveler.io/2026/08/03/u…

One of my employees said that AI is good and bad it can be a force multiplier and make people better but more often than not, it just amplifies who they are, good and bad
