What the Scrolls Didn’t Say: A Real-World Microsoft Agent Framework Quest
Pick up your swords and join us on a quest to create a small but valuable Microsoft Agent Framework POC for a development team! The POC subject is but an excuse to go on an adventure to explore the different capabilities of the Microsoft Agent Framework.
What can we do with it? How can we host and integrate with it? How can we track, test and tackle this new ever-shifting dragon?
Let us share this information as a retelling of our treacherous hero's journey at the local inn. Without bardic inspiration, because we'll also share the challenges we met of working with a fresh new framework in flux.
Prepare for a story about Breaking Changes, AI Agents, Workflows, Tools, Hosting and Testing capabilities!
