Building AI-powered applications in .NET shouldn’t require weeks of setup, glue code, and configuration nightmares. That’s exactly why Hazina exists – a comprehensive .NET framework that takes care of the infrastructure so you can focus on building features.
What is Hazina?
Hazina is an open-source .NET framework designed for developers who want to integrate AI capabilities into their applications without reinventing the wheel. Whether you need a simple chatbot, a document search engine with RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), or a fully autonomous agent system – Hazina provides the building blocks.
Core Philosophy
The framework follows three guiding principles:
- Convention over configuration – sensible defaults that work out of the box
- Modular architecture – use only what you need
- Production-ready – built-in multi-tenancy, observability, and security
What You’ll Learn in This Series
Over the next 19 posts, we’ll walk through every major feature of Hazina:
- Getting started in 5 minutes
- Making your first AI call
- Building zero-boilerplate APIs
- Implementing document search with RAG
- Creating dynamic plugins at runtime

- Agent orchestration
- And much more
Who Is This For?
If you’re a .NET developer (C#) who wants to add AI to your applications – or if you’re building a SaaS product and need a solid foundation – this series is for you. We assume basic knowledge of .NET 9 and C#, but each post is self-contained and includes working code examples.
Architecture at a Glance
Hazina is organized into layers:
Hazina/
â"œâ"€â"€ Core/ # AI engine, configuration, base abstractions
â"‚ â"œâ"€â"€ AI/ # FluentAPI, orchestration, providers
â"‚ â"œâ"€â"€ API/ # Generic CRUD framework
â"‚ â - â"€â"€ Plugins/ # Dynamic runtime plugin system
â"œâ"€â"€ Tools/ # Services, social providers, document store
â"œâ"€â"€ Production/ # Monitoring, health checks, observability
â - â"€â"€ Apps/ # Demo applications and showcases
Each layer builds on the previous one, but you can pick and choose. Need just the AI calls? Use Hazina.AI.FluentAPI. Need a full API with multi-tenancy? Add Hazina.API.Generic. It’s your call.
In the next post, we’ll get Hazina running on your machine in under 5 minutes. No really – 5 minutes.
