AI agents are quickly moving from prototypes to production — and openness is key to making them scalable, interoperable, and community-driven. In this session, we’ll introduce our Agent Framework, a new open source project from Microsoft that converges Semantic Kernel and AutoGen into a single pro-code SDK for building multi-agent systems. We’ll explore how it enables developers to orchestrate agents across clouds, tools, and models while contributing to open standards like the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Whether you’re an OSS enthusiast or an AI practitioner, you’ll walk away with a clear understanding of how to start building, experimenting, and shaping the agentic AI ecosystem together.
