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:

Prerequisites
