Unpopular opinion: .NET is one of the best stacks for building AI products in 2026 — and almost nobody talks about it.
Python gets all the hype. Fair, for research. But for AI features living inside real business systems — billing, auth, multi-tenant data — C# and .NET are quietly excellent: Semantic Kernel, strong typing that catches LLM-integration bugs early, and first-class Azure OpenAI support.
I've shipped autonomous AI agents in .NET 8 with the Claude API, Hangfire, and GraphQL. The "you can't do AI in .NET" take is just out of date.
Python or .NET for production AI — where do you land?

An AI customer support chatbot for a fictional Nigerian food delivery business, Lagos Fresh Kitchen. It runs on n8n Cloud and uses Claude Haiku 5.5 as the AI model. The workflow is three nodes: a chat trigger receives the customer’s message, an AI Agent processes it, and the Anthropic Chat Model writes the answer.
How it behaves
The AI Agent has a system message that sets the rules. It must answer only from the business information, never invent prices, areas, hours or policies, and use a fixed fallback line when the answer isn’t there: “I don’t have enough information to answer that accurately. Please contact our support team.”
The business information it knows
Open Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 8 PM, closed Sundays
Delivers to Lagos Mainland (Ikeja, Yaba, Surulere, Maryland, Ojota, Gbagada) and Island areas (Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Lekki), not outside Lagos
Delivery takes 30 to 60 minutes, with fees from ₦1,000
Menu of jollof rice, fried rice, rice and stew, pounded yam with egusi, grilled chicken, suya and soft drinks
Payments by card, transfer and cash on delivery
Cancellation allowed before cooking starts
No Sunday orders or Sunday delivery, and no event catering
Refunds, complaints and order status go to support
AI for the masses, craft for the rich. What do you think about this? 👀
When anyone can generate “perfect” in seconds, the human touch becomes the distinctive thing.
Is AI becoming the look of mass market, while craft becomes the new luxury? 🤔

I'd pick Violet Desk. Blue is what every SaaS uses, violet stands out and still says AI, and the orange sticky notes pop more against it. Does the hero chip row under the headline work on mobile?
