We're approaching a big milestone for the Semantic Kernel with the upcoming release of the 1.0 SDK. To get the community familiar with the changes that are coming and to get as much feedback as possible, we're launching a weeklong ...

Yesterday’s and today’s  Ignite sessions have been jam packed with updates. From new AI infrastructure to the new Copilot Studio, Microsoft has had a lot to share! At the center of it all, however, is still AI Orchestration: the layer that uses AI to retrieve data, call functions, and ultimately do real work. That’s where Semantic Kernel ...

Another day, another update from the Semantic Kernel team on OpenAI Assistants! For this article, we wanted to dive into assistant instructions, the key element in the Assistant API that allows you to give assistants their own persona. With the existing OpenAI API, instructions are typically static. You define them once for an assistant, and ...

During the OpenAI event earlier today, OpenAI announced the launch of GPTs and the assistants API, the new and improved ways of creating agents on top of their chat completion models. With assistants, much of the heavy lifting required to build agents has been stripped away… This ultimately means it’ll be faster, and easier, ...

In this blog post, we show you how you can use Semantic Kernel with AutoGen, a Microsoft Research project that shows the potential of using multiple agents together. With AutoGen, Microsoft research has shown that multiple agents can be better than one. To actually do work, however, agents within AutoGen need hooks into the real world so they...
