Building Intelligent Applications with Local RAG in .NET and Phi-3: A Hands-On Guide

Hi Bruno, I had a chance to watch your demo in the .NET focus on AI, and really enjoyed it.  When trying this out for myself I eventually landed on this page and want to give a shout out to all the other people who helped here by posting their workarounds to some of the problems I ran into.

I have a question regarding the local Phi3 model:

I was under the impression that AutoInvokeKernelFunctions along with the Phi-3 model would be capable of planning and executing Kernel Functions without the need for me to be explicit (telling it what function to use by {{functionname}} as well as building the parameters for the plugin).  

If we do indeed have to be explicit than how can we implement this so we can truly respond to the user in a dynamic way from various data sources?  I've tried giving it options to call such as "call the appropriate function from {{FunctionA}} or {{FunctionB}}" but this didn't work because some of the kernel functions expected parameters.

Is that something that will be there in the future?

Thanks!!

James
