# Agent Framework Samples
The agent framework samples are designed to help you get started with building AI-powered agents
from various providers.
The Agent Framework supports building agents using various infererence and inference-style services.
All these are supported using the single `ChatClientAgent` class.
The Agent Framework also supports creating proxy agents, that allow accessing remote agents as if they
were local agents. These are supported using various `AIAgent` subclasses.
## Sample Categories
The samples are subdivided into the following categories:
- [Getting Started - Agents](./GettingStarted/Agents/README.md): Basic steps to get started with the agent framework.
These samples demonstrate the fundamental concepts and functionalities of the agent framework when using the
`AIAgent` and can be used with any underlying service that provides an `AIAgent` implementation.
- [Getting Started - Agent Providers](./GettingStarted/AgentProviders/README.md): Shows how to create an AIAgent instance for a selection of providers.
- [Getting Started - Agent Telemetry](./GettingStarted/AgentOpenTelemetry/README.md): Demo which showcases the integration of OpenTelemetry with the Microsoft Agent Framework using Azure OpenAI and .NET Aspire Dashboard for telemetry visualization.
- [Semantic Kernel to Agent Framework Migration](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/tree/main/dotnet/samples/AgentFrameworkMigration): For instructions and samples describing how to migrate from Semantic Kernel to Microsoft Agent Framework
- [Durable Agents - Azure Functions](./Durable/Agents/AzureFunctions/README.md): Samples for using the Microsoft Agent Framework with Azure Functions via the durable task extension.
- [Durable Agents - Console Apps](./Durable/Agents/ConsoleApps/README.md): Samples demonstrating durable agents in console applications.
