What it is

You can run a fully featured .NET web application using various Microsoft technologies.

Real use case example

"A founder who wants to build a modern web application for their startup can use this AI agent to create a ASP.NET Core backend, Blazor frontend, and .NET MAUI mobile app within a few hours. They can then test and iterate on their application without worrying about setting up and managing infrastructure. By the end of the week, they'll have a working prototype to show to investors."
