Drawing on decades of UI design research and recent work building AiGen with C#, Mark will demonstrate real-world examples of usability done right—using Azure Cognitive Services for speech input and feedback (with support for 100+ languages) and Azure AI Foundry for flexible, high-performance inference.

You’ll learn:
- Core design principles that make AI interfaces smooth, intuitive, and satisfying.
- How to optimally fill your context window to drive up accuracy and speed.
