Add research note: Microsoft Agent Framework - #15
Conversation
Microsoft's own MAF sample does integrate with Dapr (Conversation API as an inference-backend provider), contradicting the earlier claim that no Dapr integration exists. Additionally, Diagrid (Dapr's commercial steward) publishes a third-party library (diagridio/dotnet-ai) that builds MAF agents directly atop Dapr Workflows, pub/sub, and state store for durability - a more complete Dapr-native durability story than Microsoft's first-party Azure Durable Task Framework extension provides.

Correction (2026-08-10): the original version of this note claimed no Dapr integration exists in Microsoft Agent Framework. That was wrong — I missed the |
diagridio/python-ai wraps 11 other Python agent frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, ADK, Strands, PydanticAI, OpenAI Agents, Claude Agent SDK, LangChain, Smolagents, LangChain Deep Agents, HolmesGPT) in Dapr Workflows, but does not cover Microsoft Agent Framework's Python binding - only dotnet-ai does. Updates key findings, CF relevance, and open questions accordingly.
