Session Abstract

AI agents are more than conversation—they’re decision makers and actors. In this session, we dive into Microsoft Agent Framework, showing how it empowers you to build robust, production-ready agents with minimal boilerplate. We’ll cover the core building blocks—agents, tools, orchestration—and show why this framework is a next-gen unifier that brings together ideas from Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, and open AI runtimes. Then, we’ll build a working agent live, wiring a tool and driving a simple scenario, to show how little code is actually needed to power something useful. Along the way, you’ll see the elegance, flexibility, and developer ergonomics that set Agent Framework apart. This is not theory: you’ll see it in action, and walk away inspired by how much you can build with so little.
