Semantic Kernel Agents - Getting Started
This project contains a step by step guide to get started with Semantic Kernel Agents.
NuGet:
- Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Agents.Abstractions
- Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Agents.Core
- Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Agents.OpenAI
Source
The examples can be run as integration tests but their code can also be copied to stand-alone programs.
Examples
The getting started with agents examples include:
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
| Step1_Agent | How to create and use an agent. |
| Step2_Plugins | How to associate plug-ins with an agent. |
| Step3_Chat | How to create a conversation between agents. |
| Step4_KernelFunctionStrategies | How to utilize a KernelFunction as a chat strategy. |
| Step5_JsonResult | How to have an agent produce JSON. |
| Step6_DependencyInjection | How to define dependency injection patterns for agents. |
| Step7_OpenAIAssistant | How to create an Open AI Assistant agent. |
Legacy Agents
Support for the OpenAI Assistant API was originally published in Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Experimental.Agents package:
Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Experimental.Agents
This package has been superseded by Semantic Kernel Agents, which includes support for Open AI Assistant agents.
Running Examples with Filters
Examples may be explored and ran within Visual Studio using Test Explorer.
You can also run specific examples via the command-line by using test filters (dotnet test --filter). Type dotnet test --help at the command line for more details.
Example:
dotnet test --filter Step3_Chat
Configuring Secrets
Each example requires secrets / credentials to access OpenAI or Azure OpenAI.
We suggest using .NET Secret Manager to avoid the risk of leaking secrets into the repository, branches and pull requests. You can also use environment variables if you prefer.
To set your secrets with .NET Secret Manager:
-
Navigate the console to the project folder:
cd dotnet/samples/GettingStartedWithAgents -
Examine existing secret definitions:
dotnet user-secrets list -
If needed, perform first time initialization:
dotnet user-secrets init -
Define secrets for either Open AI:
dotnet user-secrets set "OpenAI:ChatModelId" "..." dotnet user-secrets set "OpenAI:ApiKey" "..." -
Or Azure Open AI:
dotnet user-secrets set "AzureOpenAI:DeploymentName" "..." dotnet user-secrets set "AzureOpenAI:ChatDeploymentName" "..." dotnet user-secrets set "AzureOpenAI:Endpoint" "https://... .openai.azure.com/" dotnet user-secrets set "AzureOpenAI:ApiKey" "..."
NOTE: Azure secrets will take precedence, if both Open AI and Azure Open AI secrets are defined, unless
ForceOpenAIis set:
protected override bool ForceOpenAI => true;
