# Agent Framework

An open-source .NET library for building AI agents with LLM reasoning, tool use, and multi-agent workflows.

**Route:** surfaced by the AI Development and Deployment Infrastructure lane's de-branded queries → competitor to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Sells the same AI-agent-building capability to the same C# and .NET developers that the anchor's AI SDK and agent tools target.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Build Intelligent AI Agents in .NET

> An AI agent is a software system that uses a Large Language Model (LLM) as its reasoning engine

> the direct successor to both Semantic Kernel and AutoGen
