Semantic Kernel - Home Automation Sample about llamasharp

[zsogitbe]

I have added an example which will make some things more clear: #769

[SignalRT]

The example is now in the master. Thank you @zsogitbe

That example uses the OpenAI feature AutoInvokeKernelFunctions, which is not available in LLamaSharp. AutoInvokeKernelFunctions triggers a mechanism to call kernel plugins/functions "automatically". Where automatically means that the chat model indicates to call a function. For this you need a specialized model.

You can make all of this work without the OpenAI part "manually" as follows, you define the kernel functions and you ask the chat model to indicate the user's intention and then call the Kernel function. This is what is actually happening internally in the OpenAI implementation, so you can do the same.

But, this is all a bit outdated because there is a new way called Handlebars plan calling. You can ask a model to create a plan and then execute the plan which may contain a whole process with several plugins and functions.
All of this is state of the art today and relatively complex and you will need some time to understand it...

@zsogitbe I just would like to thank you for taking the time for the detailed explanation as well as the provided sample.
I hope others will find this as useful as I have.
