Agent-Framework-Samples

Active·★ 387·MIT·Updated 2026-06-28
★ Hidden Gem

This repository offers a comprehensive guide to building intelligent agents with the Microsoft Agent Framework. It provides practical examples and tutorials for both Python and .NET implementations, covering core concepts, tool integration, RAG, and multi-agent systems.

Agent-Framework-Samples sits in the RAG / Knowledge Base category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward Multiple Provider Support. A representative use case is Building travel planning agents. The listed license is MIT. GitHub stars are currently 387. Relevant tags include AI Agents, Python.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool.
