Building AI Agents with the Microsoft Agent Framework

Agenda:
6:00 PM - 7:30 PM - Building AI Agents with the Microsoft Agent Framework

Abstract:
In today’s multi-cloud world, organizations often leverage AI agents from various platforms—such as Azure AI Foundry, Microsoft Copilot Studio, AWS Bedrock, and Google Gemini—to deliver intelligent, context-aware solutions. However, orchestrating these agents into a unified, seamless workflow remains a challenge. In this session, we will explore how Microsoft’s new Agent Framework acts as the bridge between these ecosystems, enabling developers to build interoperable, multi-agent architectures that integrate diverse LLMs and services. We’ll dive into practical demonstrations showing how to connect agents across platforms, manage persona-based prompts, pass context dynamically, and build adaptive pipelines for intelligent information retrieval and contextual reasoning. To make it tangible, we’ll provide hardened, production-ready reference implementations in both .NET and Python. By the end of this talk, attendees will gain actionable insights into designing cross-platform, agentic experiences powered by the Agent Framework—unlocking the full potential of heterogeneous AI ecosystems.
