You need to make sure that the DLL that you are using is UWP compatible. Also, have you added the DLL to your Unity project? If so, and you had built a version of your project from Unity prior to adding the DLL, you need to delete your build folder, restart Unity, and then create a new build to get the DLL added.
@innovationcss does it build and run in Unity by itself? If you can get it to do that, maybe in a new scene/project or something for testing, then move the stuff you know is working over to the project you have set up for HL and see if it works there.
Additionally, if you can get cortana working on HL you could integrate Api.ai into that. https://docs.api.ai/docs/cortana-integration
I've only used API.AI to target non HoloLens platforms, but I know that there is support for UWP and NET3.5 so you MIGHT get it to work in Unity with the 3.5 library.
An easier path, they have provided a RESTful Interface which will work for sure:
https://docs.api.ai/docs/reference
@tylerlindell ...the functions in the api ai sdk require a il2cpp backend which seems to be haveing issues with building for hololens
@PoshPorcupine ...this requires installation of nuget package manager which can't work with unity as unity rewrites the project everytime and hence all refernces are deleted
