A framework for building, orchestrating and deploying AI agents and multi-agent workflows with support for Python and .NET.
Microsoft Agent Framework is a multi-language framework for building, coordinating, and running AI agents and workflows in Python and .NET. Teams use it for agent systems that need orchestration, collaboration, durability, observability, governance, or human involvement beyond a single prompt or chat loop. Catalogue add-ons provide skills and instructions for working with the framework.
This repository also configures its own agents. See what agent-framework tells them →
