    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides a Go framework for building, orchestrating, and deploying AI agents and multi-agent workflows in production environments.
    • Enables flexible multi-agent orchestration with graph-based workflows, checkpointing, observability, and provider interoperability for evolving architectures.
    • Use for developing scalable AI agent systems requiring complex workflow patterns like sequential, concurrent, and conditional routing in Go.
    • Use for integrating Microsoft Foundry and multiple LLM providers to build customizable AI assistants with middleware and observability support.
    • Use for implementing production-grade AI workflows with OpenTelemetry tracing, restartability, and human-in-the-loop control in Go applications.

    From the README

    Microsoft Agent Framework (MAF) is an open, multi-language framework for building production-grade AI agents and multi-agent workflows. This repository contains the Go implementation of Microsoft Agent Framework, along with Go samples and documentation to help you get started.

    Microsoft Agent Framework is built for teams taking agents from prototype to production. It provides a consistent foundation for building, orchestrating, and operating agent systems while keeping architecture choices open as requirements evolve, and supports a broad ecosystem including Microsoft Foundry, Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, Model Context Protocol (MCP), Agent2Agent (A2A), AG-UI, and the GitHub Copilot SDK.

    The .NET and Python implementations are available in the upstream Microsoft Agent Framework repository.

    Note: Microsoft Agent Framework for Go is in public preview and is currently evolving outside the core upstream codebase. As adoption and feedback grow, we expect closer alignment with the broader MAF ecosystem.

    Explore new MAF capabilities and real implementation patterns on the official blog.

    For a detailed .NET-to-Go feature comparison, see the .NET and Go SDK feature comparison. In short, the Go SDK covers core agents, tools, middleware, workflows, observability, and interoperability integrations, while .NET currently has broader product integrations and several features that are not implemented yet in Go.
