Microsoft Agent Framework is an open source framework designed to help developers build, orchestrate, and deploy AI agents and multi-agent systems. It provides a unified programming model that supports both Python and .NET implementations, allowing developers to create agent-driven applications in multiple programming environments. It includes tools and abstractions for constructing simple conversational agents as well as complex workflows where multiple agents collaborate to complete tasks. Microsoft Agent Framework supports graph-based orchestration that enables developers to connect agents, functions, and tools into structured workflows capable of handling multi-step processes. It also includes components such as agent sessions for managing state, context providers for maintaining memory, and middleware for intercepting and extending agent behavior. Developers can integrate external tools and services so that agents can execute actions beyond text generation.
