In a far-away kingdom, the King is drowning in petitions. Subjects arrive from every corner of the realm with questions, crises, and impossible requests: “Settle this dispute!”, “Find the truth in these scrolls!”, “Send word to all guilds before sunrise!”

No single royal advisor can keep up — so the King does what any modern monarch would do: he forms a Council of Agents.

In this story-driven session, we’ll explore how to design and orchestrate a guild of AI agents using the Microsoft Agent Framework and its magical workflows, without getting lost in low-level plumbing. Each member of the court represents a real-world agent pattern: the Chancellor as orchestrator/router, the Court Wizard as planner, the Royal Scribe as memory, the Knight-Commander as executor… and the Jester who tests assumptions and makes fun of everyone.

Rather than promising a full end-to-end implementation, we’ll focus on reusable patterns, mental models, and design choices: how to turn messy business, aka royal, problems into well-defined agent roles and workflows, and how to make agents actually perform useful work instead of just giving fancy answers. You’ll leave with a clear picture of what an agentic workflow can look like in your own kingdom — and how to start building your first royal council without losing your head.

Takeaways:
- Map real business problems to specialized agent roles with the Microsoft Agent Framework.
- Design agentic workflows where planners, memory, and executors work together.
- Use the “Jester” mindset to keep agents useful, testable, and grounded in reality (and also, fun)

Between jokes and the story will introduce the Microsoft Agent Framework, what's an agent, a workflow and build a complex workflow that fans-out, iterates, provides feedback and why not, helps save the day. Of course, there will be MCPs and maybe, graph databases as knowledge graph - maybe ;)
