# Creating an AIAgent with various providers These samples show how to create an AIAgent instance using various providers, organized by provider. This is not an exhaustive list, but shows a variety of the more popular options. For other samples that demonstrate how to use AIAgent instances, see the [Getting Started With Agents](../Agents/README.md) samples. ## Prerequisites See the README.md for each sample for the prerequisites for that sample. ## Providers ### [A2A](./a2a/) | Sample | Description | | --- | --- | | [Agent with A2A](./a2a/Agent_With_A2A/) | Create an AIAgent for an existing A2A agent | ### [Anthropic](./anthropic/) | Sample | Description | | --- | --- | | [Agent with Anthropic](./anthropic/Agent_With_Anthropic/) | Create an AIAgent using Anthropic Claude models | | [Running](./anthropic/Agent_Anthropic_Step01_Running/) | Basic Anthropic agent usage | | [Reasoning](./anthropic/Agent_Anthropic_Step02_Reasoning/) | Using Anthropic reasoning capabilities | | [Function Tools](./anthropic/Agent_Anthropic_Step03_UsingFunctionTools/) | Using function tools with Anthropic | | [Skills](./anthropic/Agent_Anthropic_Step04_UsingSkills/) | Using skills with Anthropic agents | ### [Azure](./azure/) | Sample | Description | | --- | --- | | [Azure AI Project](./azure/Agent_With_AzureAIProject/) | Create a Foundry Project agent using the Azure.AI.Project SDK | | [Azure Foundry Model](./azure/Agent_With_AzureFoundryModel/) | Use any model deployed to Microsoft Foundry | | [Azure OpenAI ChatCompletion](./azure/Agent_With_AzureOpenAIChatCompletion/) | Create an AIAgent using Azure OpenAI ChatCompletion | | [Azure OpenAI Responses](./azure/Agent_With_AzureOpenAIResponses/) | Create an AIAgent using Azure OpenAI Responses | ### [Custom](./custom/) | Sample | Description | | --- | --- | | [Custom Implementation](./custom/Agent_With_CustomImplementation/) | Create an AIAgent with a custom implementation | ### [Foundry](./foundry/) See [foundry/README.md](./foundry/README.md) for the full list of Foundry agent samples, covering basics, function tools, structured output, middleware, MCP, code interpreter, and more. ### [GitHub Copilot](./github-copilot/) | Sample | Description | | --- | --- | | [GitHub Copilot](./github-copilot/Agent_With_GitHubCopilot/) | Create an AIAgent using GitHub Copilot SDK | ### [Google Gemini](./google-gemini/) | Sample | Description | | --- | --- | | [Google Gemini](./google-gemini/Agent_With_GoogleGemini/) | Create an AIAgent using Google Gemini | ### [Ollama](./ollama/) | Sample | Description | | --- | --- | | [Ollama](./ollama/Agent_With_Ollama/) | Create an AIAgent using Ollama | ### [ONNX](./onnx/) | Sample | Description | | --- | --- | | [ONNX](./onnx/Agent_With_ONNX/) | Create an AIAgent using ONNX Runtime | ### [OpenAI](./openai/) | Sample | Description | | --- | --- | | [OpenAI ChatCompletion](./openai/Agent_With_OpenAIChatCompletion/) | Create an AIAgent using OpenAI ChatCompletion | | [OpenAI Responses](./openai/Agent_With_OpenAIResponses/) | Create an AIAgent using OpenAI Responses | | [Running](./openai/Agent_OpenAI_Step01_Running/) | Basic OpenAI agent usage | | [Reasoning](./openai/Agent_OpenAI_Step02_Reasoning/) | Using OpenAI reasoning capabilities | | [Create from ChatClient](./openai/Agent_OpenAI_Step03_CreateFromChatClient/) | Create agent from IChatClient | | [Create from Response Client](./openai/Agent_OpenAI_Step04_CreateFromOpenAIResponseClient/) | Create agent from OpenAI Response client | | [Conversation](./openai/Agent_OpenAI_Step05_Conversation/) | Multi-turn conversations with OpenAI | | [Code Interpreter](./openai/Agent_OpenAI_Step06_CodeInterpreterFileDownload/) | Code interpreter with file downloads | ## Running the samples Navigate to a sample directory and run: ```powershell dotnet run ``` Set the required environment variables as documented in each sample's README.
