# Semantic Kernel for Java

Welcome to the Semantic Kernel for Java. For detailed documentation, visit [Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/semantic-kernel/overview/?tabs=Java).
Welcome to the Semantic Kernel for Java. For detailed documentation, visit [Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/semantic-kernel/overview/?tabs=Java&pivots=programming-language-java).

[Semantic Kernel](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/semantic-kernel/overview/) is an SDK that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) like [OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com/docs/introduction), [Azure OpenAI](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/ai-services/openai-service), and [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/)
with conventional programming languages like C#, Python, and Java. Semantic Kernel achieves this by allowing you to define [plugins](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/semantic-kernel/ai-orchestration/plugins) that can be chained together in just a [few lines of code](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/semantic-kernel/ai-orchestration/chaining-functions?tabs=Java#using-the-runasync-method-to-simplify-your-code).

What makes Semantic Kernel _special_, however, is its ability to _automatically_ orchestrate plugins with AI. With Semantic Kernel [planners](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/semantic-kernel/ai-orchestration/planner), you can ask an LLM to generate a plan that achieves a user's unique goal. Afterwards, Semantic Kernel will execute the plan for the user.
