  • Episode 133 - Microsoft AI Extensions MCPs and Azure AI Foundry Local
    Jun 20 2025

    What does all this mean?

    Microsoft AI Extensions: An abstract set of classes to enable a c# .Net developer to talk to different AI models/platforms instead of specific individual frameworks. Also allows you to create and interact with MCP (model context protocol).

    MCP: Model Context Protocol - soooo many resources out there now. I did an episode on MCP a few podcasts ago if you want to take a look/listen.

    Azure AI Foundry Local: A bit like Ollama allowing you to run AI models locally :)

  • Episode 132 - AI Agent Automations with n8n
    Jun 14 2025

    How easy is it to create AI agents? without code (or at least minimal!)?

    Take a listen as we refresh our memories with n8n.io. Build automation workflows but specifically AI agent-based ones! all this locally or on your infrastructure too!

    Hey, this is a free podcast. However, if you feel you want to support me then check out Patreon. I will have some more detailed deep dives for Patreon members as well as one-to-one sessions.

    Or just buy a unicorn a coffee here!

    Oh, and yes, I have ended up on YouTube (doesn’t everyone eventually?):

  • Episode 131 - Tick Tick: The endless search for the perfect ToDo app
    Jun 5 2025

    Well, I have been trying to settle on some day-to-day tools i.e. OneNote for my note taking (don’t shoot me!) and I did have Todoist for tracking my endless lists of things to either “really do” or attempt to capture for later (yeah right!).

    Although there are lots of choice, and that is a good thing, I thought with Todoist I had found the perfect “ToDo” app (or just a large bucket of broken dreams!). No problem with Todoist at all, but I came across Tick Tick and dismissed it a few times.

    About 6 months ago I figured I would give Tick Tick a try. Anyway, have a listen if you want to find out how that went.

    No affiliates or selling here, just info from my perspective :)
