# Get Started with Microsoft Agent Framework Durable Task

[![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/agent-framework-durabletask)](https://pypi.org/project/agent-framework-durabletask/)

Please install this package via pip:

```bash
pip install agent-framework-durabletask --pre
```

## Durable Task Integration

The durable task integration lets you host Microsoft Agent Framework agents using the [Durable Task](https://github.com/microsoft/durabletask-python) framework so they can persist state, replay conversation history, and recover from failures automatically.

### Basic Usage Example

```python
from agent_framework import Agent
from agent_framework.azure import AzureOpenAIChatClient
from agent_framework_durabletask import DurableAIAgentWorker
from durabletask.worker import TaskHubGrpcWorker

# Create the worker
worker = TaskHubGrpcWorker(host_address="localhost:4001")
agent_worker = DurableAIAgentWorker(worker)

chat_client = AzureOpenAIChatClient()
my_agent = Agent(client=chat_client, name="assistant")
agent_worker.add_agent(my_agent)
```
