Microsoft Agent Framework Console App to a Visual DevUI Playground
The article discusses transforming a Microsoft Agent Framework (MAF) console application into a Visual DevUI playground for improved interaction. Initially, it describes setting up a console app using C# and Ollama LLM for basic mathematical operations. However, console scripts are limited for testing dynamic interactions; thus, Microsoft introduces DevUI, providing a graphical interface like "Swagger UI" for AI. The guide details the steps to update the project for hosting on a local web server using Kestrel, transforming core code from procedural scripts to a .NET WebApplication structure, and setting up DevUI. It includes instructions on configuring projects, creating services, and managing environments with launchSettings.json to trigger development flags. Finally, it offers a testing workflow using DevUI, allowing users to engage with the AI application via a browser-accessible interface.
