The Microsoft 365 Agent SDK simplifies building full stack, multichannel, trusted agents for platforms including M365, Teams, Copilot Studio, and Webchat. We also offer integrations with 3rd parties such as Facebook Messenger, Slack, or Twilio. The SDK provides developers with the building blocks to create agents that handle user interactions, orchestrate requests, reason responses, and collaborate with other agents.
The M365 Agent SDK is a comprehensive framework for building enterprise-grade agents, enabling developers to integrate components from the Azure AI Foundry SDK, Semantic Kernel, as well as AI components from other vendors.

The packages should target node18 or greater, and can be used from JavaScript using CommonJS or ES6 modules, or from TypeScript.
Note: We are using node 22 to be able to initialize the process from a
.envfile without adding the dependency todotenvby using the--env-fileflag. Previous node versions should set the env vars explicitely before running.
The packages include the source code in the src, along with the sourcemaps in the dist/src folder to allow VSCode to debug the typescript files.
We are using eslint configured with neostandard
