What is Semantic Kernel?

Semantic Kernel is Microsoft's open-source, model-agnostic SDK for building and orchestrating AI agents and multi-agent applications across .NET, Python, and Java.

Semantic Kernel provides model connectors, plugins, memory, planning, process and agent frameworks, and local or hosted model integration. Microsoft's official repository now identifies Microsoft Agent Framework as its production-ready successor and provides migration guidance. Evaluate Semantic Kernel for existing applications and compatibility needs while comparing the successor for new work, and retain application-level responsibility for permissions, state, model behavior, observability, and deployment security.
