🚀 Microsoft’s Agent Framework is here – and it changes everything.

Released on October 1st, this open-source framework makes building real, functional AI agents easier than ever.

✅ What’s new?Until now, most “AI agents” were glorified chatbots. They could talk, but struggled to act.The Agent Framework fixes that by unifying Semantic Kernel and AutoGen into one foundation – no more stitching tools together.

🔗 Why it matters:

Built on open standards (MCP, Agent-to-Agent messaging, OpenAPI) for seamless integration.
Production-ready with monitoring, logging, approvals, security, and support for long-running tasks.
Deep Power Platform integration: Dataverse, SharePoint, Microsoft Graph, Fabric, Power Automate – all connected.

This aligns perfectly with Microsoft 365 Agents and Copilot, making the whole ecosystem feel more integrated.
