What is the future of this library now that Microsoft 365 Agents SDK?

[rliberoff]

That is basically the question. There is a new announcement about the Microsoft 365 SDK saying it is the evolution of the Bot Framework.

Thank you.

Thanks for the question @rliberoff, and sorry for the delay in responding. Between Ignite and US Holidays a lot of us have been out.

To your question, Microsoft 365 Agents SDK will replace the BotFramework library's.
We have the preview of the C# lib exposed now and will be providing access to the JavaScript work in progress shorty, and then Python early next calendar year.

We are not yet ready to talk about timing for GA just yet.

You can find more information on this over here: https://github.com/microsoft/Agents
