Microsoft Open-Sources Agent Framework for Python and .NET
Microsoft released agent-framework on GitHub, a toolkit for building and orchestrating multi-agent AI workflows.
Microsoft has published agent-framework, an open-source project for building, orchestrating, and deploying AI agents and multi-agent workflows. The framework supports both Python and .NET, targeting developers working across Microsoft's two primary enterprise language ecosystems.
The release adds another entry to the increasingly crowded space of agentic AI toolkits, where Microsoft already maintains AutoGen and Semantic Kernel. By offering first-class support for .NET alongside Python, the framework is positioned squarely at enterprise development teams — a segment where .NET remains deeply embedded in production stacks. For organizations evaluating how to move from single-purpose AI assistants to coordinated multi-agent systems, another Microsoft-backed option with dual-language support lowers the barrier to experimentation. The project is available now on GitHub under the Microsoft organization.
