Microsoft Semantic Kernel in Action: A Code-first Approach Using Microsoft Agent Framework

Enterprise apps need copilots, but .NET teams fear steep AI learning curves.Fragmented frameworks and SDK churn make integration plans stall before prototypes launch.Microsoft Agent Framework simplifies orchestration, yet documentation alone leaves critical gaps.This book bridges missing context with practical, production-grade, C# code examples.Build chatbots, copilots, and multimodal agents without rewriting your existing .NET solutions.Deliver intelligent features confidently while maintaining performance, security, and maintainable architecture. Memory patterns implemented: Maintain short-term context and durable RAG memory for accurate conversations. Plugin creation and management: Expose, register, and orchestrate tools that extend agent capabilities safely. Multimodal integration: Combine text, speech, and vision models to enrich user interactions. Task planners and function calling: Automate multi-step workflows, reducing manual glue code and errors. Model flexibility: Switch b
