+With the [Microsoft Agent Framework](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/agent-framework/overview/agent-framework-overview) you can create AI Agents on my favorite programming language .NET but also in Python. The SDK provide various types of agents with, off-course, the out-of-the-box support for Azure AI Foundry. In the successor [Symantic Kernel](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/semantic-kernel/overview/) there was a [specific agent](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/semantic-kernel/frameworks/agent/agent-types/bedrock-agent?pivots=programming-language-csharp) type for Amazon Bedrock’s Agent service. But in the new Microsoft Agent Framework, this specific agent type is not yet available.

+
+The Microsoft Agent Framework support creating agents thats uses the generic [OpenAI Chat Completion](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat/create) services. This means that you can use the Microsoft Agent Framework to create agents that uses Amazon Bedrock models by using the [OpenAI compatible API provided by Amazon Bedrock](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/inference-chat-completions.html).
+
+## Creating a Bedrock Agent with Microsoft Agent Framework
+
+To create a Bedrock Agent with the Microsoft Agent Framework, you need to configure the `OpenAIClient` to use the Bedrock endpoint and provide the necessary Api Key. Below is an example of how to set up a Bedrock Agent using C#:
+
+```csharp
+#:package Microsoft.Agents.AI.OpenAI@1.0.0-preview.251110.2
+
+using System.ClientModel;
+using OpenAI;
+using OpenAI.Chat;
+
+OpenAIClient client = new(
+    new ApiKeyCredential("<your_aws_bedrock_api_key>"),
+    new OpenAIClientOptions()
+    {
+        Endpoint = new Uri("https://bedrock-runtime.<your_aws_region>.amazonaws.com/openai/v1"),
+    });
+
+var chatCompletionClient = client.GetChatClient("openai.gpt-oss-120b-1:0");
+
+ChatCompletion chatCompletion = await chatCompletionClient.CompleteChatAsync("Hello, how can I use AWS Bedrock with Microsoft Agent Framework?");
+
+Console.WriteLine(chatCompletion.Content[0].Text.Trim());
+```
+
+Happy building! 🚀
