If Semantic Kernel and AutoGen joined forces …If you’ve been building agents with Semantic Kernel or AutoGen (both OSS MIT licensed agent frameworks from Microsoft), we have some important updates that you might find interesting!Over the last two years, both frameworks have been impactful in the agent space. Semantic Kernel brought enterprise-grade features and strong C# support, while AutoGen pioneered multi-agent orchestration and developer experience with tools like AutoGen Studio. Over the past year, both teams collaborated on a shared vision, and that work has culminated in the Agent Framework, announced today in public preview! See migration guide from AutoGen and Semantic Kernel. Think of Agent Framework not as yet another new framework (it’s not) but as a major version rev for both SK and AutoGen I know learning another framework isn’t exactly satisfying. But here’s the thing: if you’ve used recent versions of Semantic Kernel or AutoGen, the Agent Framework will feel remarkably familiar. And hopefully better. The API design intentionally builds on what worked in both frameworks.Here’s the same agent defined across all three:# AutoGen
agent = AssistantAgent(name=”assistant”, model_client=client, tools=[my_tool])
