Build real AI agents with .NET—from foundational concepts to production-ready agentic workflows.
This practical, hands-on book shows .NET developers and architects how to design and build AI agents using the Microsoft Agent Framework (MAF) and C#. Through end-to-end examples, you will work with structured outputs, conversations and sessions, tools and APIs, memory, reliable tool execution, sequential workflows, and human-in-the-loop approvals.
Rather than stopping at simple chatbot examples, the book focuses on the patterns needed to build reliable agentic applications with modern .NET and Azure OpenAI.
Topics include agent fundamentals, structured outputs, session lifecycle, persistent memory, tool integration, invocation context, reliable execution, workflow orchestration, and production-ready agent patterns.
