base on The Microsoft 365 Agent SDK simplifies building full stack, multichannel, trusted agents for platforms including M365, Teams, Copilot Studio, and Webchat. # Microsoft 365 Agents SDK With the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK, you can create agents deployable to channels of your choice, such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft Teams, Web & Custom Apps and more, with scaffolding to handle the required communication. Developers can use the AI Services of their choice, and make the agents they build available using the channel management capabilities of the SDK. Developers need the flexibility to integrate agents from any provider or technology stack into their enterprise systems. The Agents SDK simplifies the implementation of agentic patterns using the AI of their choice, allowing them to select one or more services, models, or agents to meet their specific requirements. Use the Agents SDK to: - Quickly build an agent 'container' with state, storage, and the ability to manage activities and events. Deploy this container across any channel, such as Microsoft 365 Copilot or Microsoft Teams. - Implement agentic patterns without being restricted to a specific technology stack. The Agents SDK is agnostic regarding the AI you choose. - Customize your agent to align with the specific behaviors of clients, such as Microsoft Teams. ## Related SDKs * **Semantic Kernel**. [Semantic Kernel](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/semantic-kernel/overview/) is an SDK that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) like [OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com/docs/introduction), [Azure OpenAI](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/ai-services/openai-service), and [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/) with conventional programming languages like C#, Python, and Java. Semantic Kernel achieves this by allowing you to define [plugins](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/semantic-kernel/concepts/plugins) that can be chained together in just a [few lines of code](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/semantic-kernel/ai-orchestration/chaining-functions?tabs=Csharp#using-the-runasync-method-to-simplify-your-code). * **Azure AI Foundry**. Provides the core backend agent functionality, providing reasoning, retrieval augmentation, observability, among other core functions. Developers can leverage the Azure AI Agent Service or build their agent functionality with individual components from this SDK. * **SharePoint Embedded Copilot**. The SharePoint Embedded Copilot SDK provides a React component that allows you to add a copilot agent to your SharePoint Embedded React application. You can dynamically scope the knowledge for the copilot interaction to a single file, folder or a set of containers mapped to the application. The SDK also allows you to configure the agent text, starter prompts and copilot instructions. Click [here](https://github.com/microsoft/SharePoint-Embedded-Samples/blob/main/Copilot/README.md) to learn more. The M365 Agents SDK brings together core components to allow for developers to create, manage and utilize AI Services and third-party SDKs to power orchestration and develop custom agent logic functionality. ## Links The source for the client libraries exists for the most part in repositories for each language. This repository is meant to be a jumping off point into those language specific repositories. Issues related to a specific language should be opened in the corresponding repository but cross cutting issues can be opened in this repository. | Language | Repo | Documentation | |:------------|:--------------------------------:|:--------------------------------:| | General |[Agents Repository] | [Agents SDK Documentation](https://aka.ms/M365-Agents-SDK-Docs) | | C# /.NET |[Agents-for-net Repository] | Coming Soon | | JavaScript |[Agents-for-js Repository] | Coming Soon | | Python |[Agents-for-python Repository] | Coming Soon | ## Using other services with the Agents SDK Your use of other services in connection with the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK is governed by the respective agreements for those services, which may include codes of conduct and other restrictions ## Contributing This project welcomes contributions and suggestions.
