Getting Started with Microsoft Agent Framework: Build Practical AI Agents

AI agents are moving fast, but building one that delivers real value requires more than just prompts.

In this session, you’ll get a hands‑on introduction to the Microsoft Agent Framework, focusing on how to design and build practical AI agents that can reason, take actions, and integrate with real systems. You’ll explore how agentic AI fits into modern application architectures and how developers can move from experimentation to production‑ready agents.
