The Future of AI: Customizing AI agents with the Semantic Kernel agent framework
The blog post Customizing AI agents with the Semantic Kernel agent framework discusses the capabilities of the Semantic Kernel SDK, an open-source tool developed by Microsoft for creating AI agents and multi-agent systems. It highlights the benefits of using single-purpose agents within a multi-agent system to achieve more complex workflows with improved efficiency. The Semantic Kernel SDK offers features like telemetry, hooks, and filters to ensure secure and responsible AI solutions, making it a versatile tool for both simple and complex AI projects.The Launch of "AI Agents for Beginners": Your Gateway to Building Intelligent Systems

Globally, developers, data scientists, and engineers created new applications or advanced their existing applications to take advantage of LLMs. While building a Question-and-Answer chatbot is simple and you may not need advanced tools, in other more complex scenarios, the AI orchestrator come in and make the process easier. At the center of LLM applications is the AI orchestration layer that allows developers to build their own Copilot experiencesMicrosoft Semantic Kernel and AutoGen: Open Source Frameworks for AI Solutions
Explore Microsoft’s open-source frameworks, Semantic Kernel and AutoGen. Semantic Kernel enables developers to create AI solutions across various domains using a single Large Language Model (LLM). AutoGen, on the other hand, uses AI Agents to perform smart tasks through agent dialogues. Discover how these technologies serve different scenarios and can be used to build powerful AI applications.IA y NET LATAM - Episodio 6
Buenas, Es un placer para nosotros, Bruno y Pablito Piova compartir con ustedes nuestras impresiones sobre el episodio 6 de la serie AI + .NET LATAM que tuvimos el honor de presentar el 6 de Diciembre junto con Jose Luis Latorre y Luis Beltran En el episodio número 6 de nuestra serie en Microsoft Reactor, exploramos cómo la inteligencia artificial (IA) está transformando el panorama tecnológico a través de herramientas innovadoras como Agentes autónomos, Semantic Kernel y otras tecnologías avanzadas. Además, discutimos las tendencias clave de IA que marcarán el 2025 y pudimos revisar algunas noticias frescas posteriores al gran evento Microsoft Ignite 2024.
