Bill Ayers

If you're lucky enough to be at #ESPC25 I've got a talk about Semantic Kernel and Microsoft Agent Framework coming up in the last session slot today (Thursday). Hope to see you there!

Can't wait for #CollabDaysPT tomorrow, Oct 25 in #Lisbon. I'll be talking about building #Copilots with @Microsoft365 Agents Toolkit. Tickets are free: collabdays.org/2025-...

I said I've started migrating some production code. Might be a while before it gets pushed into prod ;-) .

Microsoft Agent Framework Microsoft have launched the Microsoft Agent Framework, an open-source SDK and runtime that unifies the experimental orchestration capabilities of AutoGen with the enterprise-grade foundations of Semantic Kernel. Agent Framework gives us a single development tool from prototyping multi-agent systems

I'm still excited about the release of the new Microsoft Agent Framework; so excited I wrote an article about it. Please take a look 🙂 . #AI #Microsoft

Introducing Microsoft Agent Framework: The Open-Source Engine for Agentic AI Apps | Azure AI Foundry Blog Why agents need a new foundation Over the last year, developers have been experimenting with AI agents in every imaginable form. Agents are not just chatbots or copilots — they are autonomous software components that can reason about goals, call tools and APIs, collaborate with other agents, and adapt dynamically. Whether it’s a retrieval agent […]

Microsoft Agent Framework has just been announced! It's like Semantic Kernel, but even better, with added AutoGen. It provides a unified standards-compliant open-source SDK and runtime for building #AI solutions.

I'm looking forward to Collabdays Portugal in Lisbon at the end of next month... talking about Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit, and I can't wait! @CollabDaysPT www.collabdays.org/2...

It's crucial to avoid writing AI-generated rubbish! Look at the image above - did you think for one second that I crafted it by hand. Of course not; you can tell immediately that it was created using AI.

Literally?

Don't miss ESPC25 in Dublin in December! I'll be talking about using Agents Toolkit to build solutions on Microsoft 365 that solve real problems.

And if you want to save some money, use code ESPC25BILL...

Thanks to everyone who came to my talk on Building applications with @GitHubCopilot @dotnetyork yesterday. Some great questions and conversations, and great venue at Patch, York! Image by DallE3.

Thanks to everyone who came to my talk on Building applications with @GitHubCopilot at #dotnetsheff yesterday. We're doing it again in York tonight #ICYMI! www.meetup.com/dotne...

Tomorrow morning I will talk about Building Advanced AI Solutions using #SemanticKernel at @ThriveITConf in beautiful Slovenia. #AI #LLM #AzureAIFoundry #AzureOpenAIService

In about 1 hour I will talk about how to manage 'hallucination' in Large Language Models at #ThriveConf in beautiful Slovenia. #AI #LLM #AzureAIFoundry #AzureOpenAIService

Thanks also to the great #CollabSummit sponsors, especially @sharegatetools for a wonderful evening after my flight got cancelled at the gate!.🍷✈️ #CommunityRocks

Back from amazing #ECS catching up with friends, old and new. Kudos @adisjugo and the team for putting on an incredible show. Thanks to everyone who came to my two sessions and the panel, and thank you for your great questions. Even managed to fit in some #karaoke! @collabsummit

Coming up soon at #CloudSummit - I'll be talking about #AI and the Peak of Inflated Expectations in 30 mins in room 14a at 2:30pm. Hope to see you there if you're at @collabsummit, Dusseldorf!

It's the start of #CollabSummit with @vesajuvonen showing how to make what's next possible! M365 Extensibility Workshop #CommunityRocks #Microsoft365 #SharePoint

New blog post: Finding Lake Bill. I reflect on how Microsoft and the Redmond campus has changed over the decades, and how it's affected my career. #Microsoft50 www.spdoctor.com/art...

New blog post: Introducing the Dashboard Web Part. Ever wished you could add a Viva Connections type of dashboard to any site? Well now you can! #Microsoft365Dev #SharePoint #Microsoft365 www.spdoctor.com/art...

The news is out! I am delighted to be speaking at #ESPC25 in Dublin 1-4 Dec on #Microsoft365 and #AI. Take a look at the newly launched conference programme here: www.sharepointeurope...

The ideal conference: two days with the best speakers in the business, in a renowned health resort with gym, pools, sauna, somewhere beautiful but not too expensive, an hour's drive from an airport with cheap flights. Yep, I'd go for that! #ThriveITconf www.thriveconf.com/e...

This must be what happens if you use #AI to design a 12-storey hotel in the Dutch vernacular style :-D #architecture #Inntel #Zaandam #Netherlands

Up to the diving board, I assume 😜

I've found Lake Bill! #MVPSummit #Microsoft50

The #MicrosoftAITour in London yesterday was amazing! So many people, so many discussions in the morning. Thanks to the big group that came to my theatre talk on #SemanticKernel in the afternoon, and the great questions afterwards. Picture credit: @sfennah

Looking forward to #MicrosoftAITour London tomorrow. If you're going, find me at the VS family station in the Hub in the morning, or see me demo #SemanticKernel in Hub Theatre 1 in the hall at 4:20 pm. Judging from the size of the main theatre it's going to be epic!

Ha! I use our Email Reactor Outlook add-in to respond with gobbledegook: "Thanks for reaching out. Broadly we need to consider this in terms of being a total solution rather than merely a point solution that only addresses our immediate issues." etc. etc. appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/produc...
