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, for yo...

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 ca...

Semantic Kernel v1.0 has shipped and the contents of this blog entry is now out of date. In a previous article, we announced the beta launch of Semantic Kernel v1. In that article, we shared the initial breaking changes we made for v1: 1) renaming skills to plugins, 2) making Semantic Kernel AI service agnostic while still supporting first cla...

Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized our interaction with software. However, there's a catch - their responses can be monotonous and impersonal. This is where 'personas' come in. They add a human touch to LLMs, transforming generic outputs into customized responses that resonate with users. This is particularly handy in applications lik...
