Overview

Microsoft.Agents.AI (aka Agent Framework is a comprehensive API for building AI agents. Its programatic model (which follows closely the Microsoft.Extensions.AI approach) provides maximum flexibility with little prescriptive structure.

This package provides additional extensions to make developing agents easier and more declarative.

Configurable Agents

Tweaking agent options such as description, instructions, chat client to use and its options, etc. is very common during development/testing. This package provides the ability to drive those settings from configuration (with auto-reload support). This makes it far easier to experiment with various combinations of agent instructions, chat client providers and options, and model parameters without changing code, recompiling or even restarting the application:

This example shows integration with configurable chat clients feature from the Devlooped.Extensions.AI package, but any IChatClient registered in the DI container with a matching key can be used.

{
  "AI": {
    "Agents": {
      "MyAgent": {
        "Description": "An AI agent that helps with customer support.",
        "Instructions": "You are a helpful assistant for customer support.",
        "Client": "Grok",
        "Options": {
          "ModelId": "grok-4",
          "Temperature": 0.5,
        }
      }
    },
    "Clients": {
      "Grok": {
        "Endpoint": "https://api.grok.ai/v1",
        "ModelId": "grok-4-fast-non-reasoning",
        "ApiKey": "xai-asdf"
      }
    }
  }
}

var host = new HostApplicationBuilder(args);
host.Configuration.AddJsonFile("appsettings.json, optional: false, reloadOnChange: true);

// 👇 implicitly calls AddChatClients
host.AddAIAgents(); 

var app = host.Build();
var agent = app.Services.GetRequiredKeyedService<AIAgent>("MyAgent");

Agents are also properly registered in the corresponding Microsoft Agent Framework AgentCatalog:

var catalog = app.Services.GetRequiredService<AgentCatalog>();
await foreach (AIAgent agent in catalog.GetAgentsAsync())
{
    var metadata = agent.GetService<AIAgentMetadata>();
    Console.WriteLine($"Agent: {agent.Name} by {metadata.ProviderName}");
}
