Microsoft Agent Framework
Welcome to the Private Preview of Agent Framework!
You're getting early access to Microsoft's comprehensive multi-language framework for building, orchestrating, and deploying AI agents with support for both .NET and Python implementations. This framework provides everything from simple chat agents to complex multi-agent workflows with graph-based orchestration.
A few important notes:
- There currently are not public pypi or nuget packages for the SDKs. In order for the code and samples to work, please clone this repo and run the code here.
- The repo is an active project so make sure to sync regularly.
We want your feedback!
- For bugs, please file a GitHub issue.
- For feedback and suggestions for the team, please fill out this survey.
Highlights
- Flexible Agent Framework: build, orchestrate, and deploy AI agents and workflows
- Multi-Agent Orchestration: group chat, sequential, concurrent, and handoff patterns
- Graph-based Workflows: connect agents and deterministic functions using data flows with streaming, checkpointing, time-travel, and Human-in-the-loop.
- Plugin Ecosystem: extend with native functions, OpenAPI, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and more
- LLM Support: OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, and more
- Runtime Support: in-process and distributed agent execution
- Multimodal: text, vision, and function calling
- Cross-Platform: .NET and Python implementations
Below are the basics for each language implementation. For more details on python see here and for .NET see here.
