  • Graph-based Workflows: Connect agents and functions with streaming, checkpointing, and human-in-the-loop capabilities, with both imperative or declarative workflow support
  • Multiple Provider Support: Seamlessly integrate with various LLM providers with more being added continuously
  • Extensible Middleware: Flexible request/response processing with custom pipelines and exception handling
  • Built-in Observability: OpenTelemetry integration for distributed tracing, monitoring, and debugging
  • Cross-Platform: Compatible with .NET 8.0, .NET Standard 2.0, and .NET Framework for broad deployment options
