DevExpress.AIIntegration

DevExpress AI Integration

DevExpress.AIIntegration provides resources for the following DevExpress products:

• DevExpress AI Chat controls for .NET applications.
• DevExpress AI-powered Extensions that incorporate natural language capabilities into DevExpress UI Controls and Libraries. These capabilities allow users to edit and analyze documents, design reports, and perform smart actions (Smart Paste, Smart Autocomplete, Smart Search).

Examples

Install the DevExpress.AIIntegration package:

dotnet add package DevExpress.AIIntegration

Azure AI Translator & AI Language Support

Install the following NuGet packages to use Azure AI Language services (including Azure AI Translator and Azure AI Language for text summarization):

• DevExpress.AIIntegration.Azure.TextAnalytics
• DevExpress.AIIntegration.Azure.Translation

dotnet add package DevExpress.AIIntegration.Azure.TextAnalytics
dotnet add package DevExpress.AIIntegration.Azure.Translation

The following example registers an Azure Text Analytics client and uses an AI-powered extension to generate a summary of originalText in a console application:

using Azure;
using Azure.AI.TextAnalytics;
using DevExpress.AIIntegration;
using DevExpress.AIIntegration.Extensions;

AIExtensionsContainerDefault defaultAIExtensionsContainer;

RegisterTextAnalyticsService(
    Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_TEXT_ANALYTICS_ENDPOINT"),
    Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_TEXT_ANALYTICS_API_KEY")
);

string originalText = "This must be a long text...";
var response = await defaultAIExtensionsContainer.AbstractiveSummaryAsync(
    new AbstractiveSummaryRequest(originalText) { Language = "de", SentenceCount = 3 }
);

Console.WriteLine(response);

void RegisterTextAnalyticsService(string azureTextAnalyticsEndpoint, string azureTextAnalyticsAIKey)
{
    defaultAIExtensionsContainer = new AIExtensionsContainerDefault();
    var textAnalyticsClient = new TextAnalyticsClient(
        new Uri(azureTextAnalyticsEndpoint),
        new AzureKeyCredential(azureTextAnalyticsAIKey)
    );
    defaultAIExtensionsContainer.RegisterTextAnalyticsAzureAIService(textAnalyticsClient);
}

Customize DevExpress AI-powered Extensions

AI-powered Extensions ship with prebuilt prompts. The following example creates a new "Change Style" extension and registers it along with predefined styles. The new class overrides the GetSystemPrompt method to customize the prompt:

// Register the WilliamShakespeareStyleExtension within the default container
// This extension overrides the DevExpress ChangeStyleExtension
AIExtensionsContainerDesktop.Default.Register<ChangeStyleRequest, WilliamShakespeareStyleExtension>();

public class WilliamShakespeareStyleExtension : ChangeStyleExtension {
    public WilliamShakespeareStyleExtension(IServiceProvider serviceProvider) : base(serviceProvider) { }
    protected override string GetSystemPrompt(ChangeStyleRequest request) {
            return "Rewrite this text in the William Shakespeare style.";
    }
}
