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!

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.
