Microsoft Agent Framework
A framework for building AI agents and graph-based multi-agent workflows in Python and .NET, with streaming, checkpointing and human-in-the-loop controls; a Go SDK is maintained separately.
About Microsoft Agent Framework
Developers moving beyond single model calls need to coordinate agents, tools and workflow state in an application framework.
Who it’s for
- Python developers building multi-agent workflows
- .NET teams integrating agents into production applications
When to consider it
Consider Microsoft Agent Framework when you need agent orchestration and resumable workflows in a Python or .NET application.
Tradeoffs & limitations
- This repository covers Python and .NET only; the Go SDK has its own repository (microsoft/agent-framework-go) with separate documentation, samples and issue tracker.
- Licensed under MIT, which requires retaining the copyright and permission notice in copies or substantial portions of the software.
