Microsoft Agent Framework
Microsoft's open-source SDK for building AI agents and multi-agent workflows
Overview
Microsoft Agent Framework is an MIT-licensed SDK and runtime for building, orchestrating and deploying AI agents and multi-agent workflows, with consistent APIs across Python and .NET. It unifies Semantic Kernel's enterprise foundations with AutoGen's orchestration patterns, adding graph-based workflows, middleware and OpenTelemetry observability. It reached a production-ready 1.0 in 2026.

ASEAN Perspective
Microsoft Agent Framework in Southeast Asia
ASEAN-region availability and pricing notes coming soon. Drop the editorial team a note via /contact/ if you can supply local context (Singapore/Malaysia/Indonesia/Thailand/Vietnam).
By merging Semantic Kernel and AutoGen into one supported framework, Microsoft has consolidated its previously fragmented agent tooling into a single production-grade SDK. First-class .NET support is a genuine differentiator for enterprise shops on the Microsoft stack.
The MIT license, OpenTelemetry observability and declarative YAML agents make it a strong default for teams already invested in Azure and C#. Python parity means it is not Windows-only. A safe, well-resourced pick.
