Build 2025: AI & .NET Outlook for Iron Software Customers

Everyone talks about what a blast MS Build 2025 was, so it's a shame to not bring up the .NET AI Community Standup: “.NET + AI: Best of Build 2025.”

It dives into how AI is being integrated into .NET, covering document processing, intelligent agents, and automation, topics that directly complement the workflows IronOCR, IronPDF and the rest of our tools help you build.

Looking to stay ahead of the curve and explore the new reality of .NET and AI? This article is worth a read.

Why this may be worth reading

1. More Seamless AI Integration in Document/OCR & PDF Automation

Iron Software customers use IronOCR and IronPDF to automate document-heavy tasks like reading, extracting, and creating PDFs. These are the same kinds of jobs that modern AI agents are now starting to handle on their own.

Recent advancements in .NET have made it much easier to integrate AI, with better support for machine learning models, natural language processing (NLP), and agent-based automation. This evolution directly complements Iron Software’s tools, which already handle the low-level heavy lifting of:

  • OCR-based text extraction, including from scanned PDFs or images
  • PDF manipulation, generation, and conversion from HTML or raw data
  • Automated parsing of structured/semi-structured documents (think invoices, receipts, and legal docs)

2. Insights from Build 2025 That You Can Act On

Microsoft's emphasis on AI frameworks, intelligent Agents, and .NET Aspire opens new possibilities for Iron Software users:

These are prevalent to advanced use cases, such as scanning legal contracts with IronBarcode and triggering workflows based on keyword extraction, or using IronPDF to generate intelligent summaries from long-form content.

3. Future-Proofing Your Projects

As emphasized in Build 2025, .NET is now being designed to integrate AI more seamlessly, from project-less development to enhanced Copilot support.

For Iron Software developers, this means faster prototyping, smarter debugging, and better code insights. It also means being ready to build next-generation apps that combine PDF/OCR tech with AI agents, cloud functions, and intelligent UI.
