Guest Blog: Leap Forward with Modern AI using Microsoft 365 Agents SDK and Semantic Kernel
Leap Forward with Modern AI using Microsoft 365 Agents SDK and Semantic Kernel Today we’re featuring a guest author, Arafat Tehsin, who’s a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for AI. He’s written an article we’re sharing below, focused on how to Leap Forward with Modern AI using Microsoft 365 Agents SDK and Semantic Kernel. We’ll turn it over to Arafat to share more! Happy new year. I know you’re excited to see this. It is real, it is happening, but you know what? It is still in preview and things will break. So, get ready for it. If you’re wondering what this SDK is all about then despite my ...
Customer Case Study: Pushing the Boundaries of Multi-Agent AI Collaboration with ServiceNow and Microsoft Semantic Kernel
The Journey to Multi-Agent Innovation At ServiceNow, we embarked on an ambitious journey to redefine how AI systems collaborate in enterprise environments. Through our partnership with Microsoft, we set out to create something beyond traditional integration – a true multi-agent system across platform that could work effectively alongside human teams. While NowAssist and Microsoft Copilot were already capable of basic task handoffs, we envisioned a future where AI agents could work together as seamlessly as human colleagues, sharing context and coordinating complex activities in real-time. Tackling the P1 Inci...
Guest Blog: Building Multi-Agent Systems with Multi-Models in Semantic Kernel – Part 1
Today I want to welcome back Arafat Tehsin, who’s a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for AI. He’s written an article we’re sharing below, focused on Building Multi-Agent Systems with Multi-Models in Semantic Kernel. We’ll turn it over to Arafat to share more! Imagine running a restaurant. Each of your team member, from the chef to server to the cashier has got specialised skills. While the chef prepares delicious meals, the server ensures that the food is delivered promptly and the cashier ensures smooth transactions. Together, they deliver a seamless dining experience. Similarly, in a multi-a...
Understanding Semantic Kernel AI Connectors
AI Connectors in Semantic Kernel are components that facilitate communication between the Kernel's core functionalities and various AI services. They abstract the intricate details of service-specific protocols, allowing developers to seamlessly interact with AI services for tasks like text generation, chat interactions, and more. Using AI Connectors in Semantic Kernel Developers utilize AI connectors to connect their applications to different AI services efficiently. The connectors manage the requests and responses, providing a streamlined way to leverage the power of these AI services with...
Empowering AI Agents with Tools via OpenAPI: A Hands-On Guide with Microsoft Semantic Kernel Agents
Today the Semantic Kernel team is happy to welcome back our guest author, Akshay Kokane. We will turn it over to him to dive into his recent Medium article on Semantic Kernel. As we advance towards an Agentic Approach in the AI world, I would like to share my insights on how Semantic Kernel can assist in building AI agents and leveraging existing APIs to create intelligent agents. In a previous article, I discussed how Semantic Kernel can develop a multi-agent system that fosters a collaborative environment for these agents to interact and deliver results. In this new blog post, I am pleased to share that ...
Unwrap some Semantic Kernel (Power)Toys this holiday season
Windows PowerToys has always been one of my favorite productivity hacks, and its latest release adds Paste with Advanced AI, which takes it to a new level. This feature, powered by Semantic Kernel, transforms how you work with text, images, and data from your clipboard by applying AI-driven enhancements. What Does It Do? Advanced Paste uses the OpenAI API to analyze, reformat, and transform clipboard text based on the user’s input, for example: Advanced Paste also has additional paste actions that work beyond simple text-based inputs: With Semantic Kernel, you can n...

Global Expansion – "G3J Learn Semantic Kernel" Show – A Deep Dive in Korean! Localization Increases Demand Following the success of this multi-language delivery, we quickly noticed a surge in demand for localized content. Developers from different parts of the world have expressed interest in diving deeper into Semantic Kernel, and we couldn’t be more excited to expand on this momentum. To address this growing interest, we are thrilled to announce the recordings of a new initiative, starting with a deep dive into Semantic Kernel in Korean. The pilot session featured above is the first of many localized forma...
ONNX GenAI Connector for Python (Experimental)Â
ONNX GenAI Connector for Python (Experimental) With the latest update we added support for running models locally with the onnxruntime-genai. The onnxruntime-genai package is powered by the ONNX Runtime in the background, but first let’s clarify what ONNX, ONNX Runtime and ONNX Runtime-GenAI are. ONNX ONNX is an open-source format for AI models, both for Deep Learning and traditional Machine Learning. It defines an extensible computation graph model, as well as definitions of built-in operators and standard data types. ONNX Runtime The ONNX Runtime executes the saved weighted operations stored using the O...
