AIProviderConnect

Unified .NET library for connecting to 35+ AI providers — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, Groq, Mistral, xAI, DeepSeek, Cohere and more — through a single IAIProvider interface, driven by an embedded JSON provider catalog and four protocol implementations.

Features

Single IAIProvider interface for all providers
Runtime model discovery (IModelDiscoveryProvider.GetModelsAsync)
Streaming via IStreamingChatProvider / IAsyncEnumerable<StreamingChatChunk>
Tool / function calling
Structured output via ResponseFormat with JSON schema
Structured errors via AiException with centralized AiErrorCodes
One-line DI registration (AddAiProviders()) with named options per provider ID
appsettings.json configuration support

Usage

// Program.cs
builder.Services.AddHttpClient();
builder.Services.AddAiProviders();

builder.Services.Configure<OpenAICompatibleProviderOptions>("openai", o =>
{
    o.Enabled = true;
    o.BaseUrl = "https://api.openai.com/v1/";
    o.ApiKey = "your-api-key";
    o.DefaultModel = "gpt-4o";
});

// Chat — pick a provider by ID
var provider = factory.GetProvider("openai");
var response = await provider.ChatAsync(new ChatCompletionRequest
{
    Model = "gpt-4o",
    Messages = [new ChatMessage { Role = EChatRole.User, Content = "Hello!" }]
});

// Stream
if (provider is IStreamingChatProvider streaming)
{
    await foreach (var chunk in streaming.StreamAsync(request))
        Console.Write(chunk.Content);
}
