Explore how to integrate local AI capabilities into enterprise applications using Microsoft's Windows AI APIs in this 38-minute conference talk from Microsoft Ignite 2025. Discover Microsoft Foundry on Windows and learn to leverage built-in AI models on Copilot+ PCs without requiring cloud infrastructure, hosting, or machine learning expertise. Master the implementation of Phi Silica models to add language and vision capabilities to your applications, enabling features like summarization, rewriting, and image understanding with minimal code. Understand how to customize AI models using your proprietary data through LoRA (Low Rank Adapter) fine-tuning techniques and implement app content search functionality. Follow along with practical demonstrations including a remote manufacturing challenge scenario, root cause analysis using RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), structured actionable insights generation, and customer-specific device build instructions. Learn about performance improvements in Phi Silica and explore administrative controls for enterprise deployment of Windows AI APIs. Gain insights into loading and linking LoRA adapters into the inference process and discover how to enhance application output with AI-powered capabilities designed specifically for enterprise environments.
