AutoGen.SemanticKernel Overview

AutoGen.SemanticKernel is a package that provides seamless integration with Semantic Kernel. It provides the following agents:

• @AutoGen.SemanticKernel.SemanticKernelAgent: A slim wrapper agent over Kernel that only support original ChatMessageContent type via IMessage<ChatMessageContent>. To support more AutoGen built-in message type, register the agent with @AutoGen.SemanticKernel.SemanticKernelChatMessageContentConnector.
• @AutoGen.SemanticKernel.SemanticKernelChatCompletionAgent: A slim wrapper agent over Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Agents.ChatCompletionAgent.

AutoGen.SemanticKernel also provides the following middleware:

• @AutoGen.SemanticKernel.SemanticKernelChatMessageContentConnector: A connector that convert the message from AutoGen built-in message types to ChatMessageContent and vice versa. At the current stage, it only supports conversation between @AutoGen.Core.TextMessage, @AutoGen.Core.ImageMessage and @AutoGen.Core.MultiModalMessage. Function call message type like @AutoGen.Core.ToolCallMessage and @AutoGen.Core.ToolCallResultMessage are not supported yet.
• @AutoGen.SemanticKernel.KernelPluginMiddleware: A middleware that allows you to use semantic kernel plugins in other AutoGen agents like @AutoGen.OpenAI.OpenAIChatAgent.
