Microsoft Agents Hosting - Dialogs
Dialog system for the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK. Provides waterfall dialogs, prompts, choice recognition, and multi-turn conversation management.
This library is a port of the botbuilder-dialogs library to the new Microsoft 365 Agents SDK. It provides the same dialog primitives (WaterfallDialog, ComponentDialog, DialogSet, DialogContext) and prompts (TextPrompt, NumberPrompt, ChoicePrompt, ConfirmPrompt, DateTimePrompt, OAuthPrompt, etc.) with updated imports and patterns for the new SDK.
What is this?
This library is part of the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK for Python - a comprehensive framework for building enterprise-grade conversational AI agents. The dialogs library enables developers to structure multi-turn conversations with reusable, composable dialog primitives.
