How to interact between process agents as we do in c# ?

[tanuja-cibuscell]

Hello everyone,

I am currently seeking documentation or examples that demonstrate the integration of process and agent frameworks in Python. While the C# documentation provides a comprehensive guide on initiating a process framework and subsequently integrating it with an agentic framework, I have not been able to find equivalent resources for Python.

Could anyone provide guidance or point me towards relevant resources that illustrate the interaction between process and agent frameworks in Python?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello @tanuja-cibuscell, I'm sorry it's taken so long for us to get some SK Python Process framework + Agent Framework samples published. A while back, I posted an example on how this may be done.

The big takeaway is:

1. You can define "complex" dependencies (like an Agent, or an AgentGroupChat) with the factory_function callback.
2. I recommend playing with this and the "LocalRuntime" for ease-of-use and debugging as you get ramped up.

See an example of it here:

Another possible example to explore shows how a process step can leverage an Agent using the factory callback: https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/fa2d52f6cc53629098db9f6ce92452e03cbf950e/python/samples/demos/process_with_dapr/process/steps.py#L59C1-L90C76. The factory function is passed to the process builder here:

semantic-kernel/python/samples/demos/process_with_dapr/process/process.py

Line 27 in fa2d52f

myBStep = process.add_step(step_type=BStep, factory_function=bstep_factory)
