This sample is a simple note taking app that uses local APIs and models to provide AI powered features. The app is built using WinUI3.
Watch the Build session: Use AI for "Real Things" in your Windows apps
You will need to have Visual Studio installed with the latest workloads for WinAppSDK and WinUI 3 development. You can find instructions on how to set up your environment here.
Clone the repository and open the solution in Visual Studio. Before you can get started exploring the sample, you will need to download the ML model files required for the project and place them in the onnx-models folder.
The final folder structure should look like this:
Note
Many of these models can be downloaded quickly using the AI Dev Gallery.
Phi Silica is disabled by deault, but you can enable it in App.xaml.cs in the InitializeIChatClient method. To use Phi Silica for the generative tasks, see requirements here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ai/apis/phi-silica
The model can be downloaded from the following link:
Use the AI Dev Gallery linked above to download the model files. Alternatively, Huggingface models are in repositories which you can clone to get the model files. Clone the model repository and copy the required files to this project.
Note
You can use any GenAI model by downloading the right model files and droping them in the genai-model folder. If using a model other than phi, make sure to also update the prompt template in the App.xaml.cs
The model can be downloaded from the following link:
This is model we use for semantic search. The two files you will need are model.onnx and vocab.txt. Create a new folder under onnx-models called embedding and place the files there.
The Sliero Voice Activity Detection model can be downloaded from the following link:
This is the model we use for smart chunking of audio and the only file you will need is the sliero_vad.onnx file.
This should also be placed under a new folder called whisper under the onnx-models folder.
The Whisper model can be downloaded from the following link:
Download any of the versions on the repo or from the AI Dev Gallery and place them in the onnx-models\whisper folder. Make sure the path in AI\Whisper\Whisper.cs in the InitializeModel method reflects the same name:
You might run into an issue if you clone the repo in a location that will make the path too long to some of the generated binaries. Recomendation is to place the repo closer to the root of the drive and rename the repo folder name to something shorter. Alternatively, you can change the settings in Windows to support long paths https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry#enable-long-paths-in-windows-10-version-1607-and-later .
