Why should you care?

Without RAG/memory, agents invent company facts.

See it live — copy this example

Use .NET 8+. Run Semantic Kernel samples in a console or Web API. Keep API keys in user secrets or environment variables — never in source.

// Short-Term Chat Memory
var chunks = await retriever.SearchAsync(question, topK: 4);
var prompt = $"Context:\n{string.Join("\n", chunks)}\nQ:{question}";

What happened?

• Search first, then generate with strict “use context only” instructions.
• Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.

Practice next

1. Recreate the sketch in a .NET 8 console or Web API.
2. Connect a real or mock chat client.
3. Add one validation or auth check.
4. Tighten the prompt/tool description.
5. Log duration of the model call.

Remember

You can explain Short-Term Chat Memory simply. You have a C# sketch to extend. You know one safety or ops risk.
