Overview
Microsoft Agent Framework brings together agent and workflow building blocks for applications that need tool use, multi-step orchestration, human input, and observable execution. It supports Python and .NET, with patterns for sequential, concurrent, handoff, and group-chat workflows.
Key features
- Agent and workflow abstractions
- Tool and function integration
- Human-in-the-loop workflows
- Tracing and evaluation hooks
Requirements, installation and quick start
See the official repository for current Python and .NET setup instructions; install requirements for the language stack you choose.
Usage
Start from an official quickstart, configure a model provider and tools, then compose agents or workflows around your task.
Model compatibility and use cases
Provider and model support varies by integration; consult the framework documentation for the current supported list.
