Foundry Local - .NET MAUI Chat Application

Overview

Foundry Local is a cross-platform chat application built with .NET MAUI, designed to provide a seamless chat experience with an AI-powered assistant. The application leverages the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern using the CommunityToolkit.Mvvm library and integrates Syncfusion MAUI controls for a polished user interface. It supports both light and dark themes, allowing users to toggle between them dynamically, and communicates with an AI service via the IChatClient interface.
