Webinar: Build Reliable Agentic Apps with Aspire, MAF, and Catalyst

TL;DR: Register here for the webinar on May 7th.

Join Marc Duiker and Whit Waldo for a live webinar on building reliable agentic applications in .NET.

Agentic apps look impressive in a demo, but most struggle the moment a tool call fails or a long-running task needs to survive a restart. The Microsoft Agent Framework by itself does not solve this. In this session you will see how three tools work together to close that gap: Aspire for local orchestration and observability, the Microsoft Agent Framework for building agents, and Diagrid Catalyst for durable execution and state.

If you are a .NET developer exploring agentic AI, this webinar will give you a clear picture of the moving parts.

Who should attend
This session is for .NET developers who are building or planning to build agentic applications and want to take them beyond the demo stage. No prior experience with Aspire, MAF, or Catalyst is required.

What you will learn
By the end of the session you will understand:

  • Where reliability tends to break in agentic apps, including failed tool calls, timeouts, and long-running tasks that need to survive restarts
  • How Aspire improves local development and observability for distributed .NET apps
  • How the Microsoft Agent Framework helps you define and compose agents in .NET
  • How Diagrid Catalyst adds durable execution so your agents keep running through crashes, retries, and deployments
  • How the three fit together in a single project

Registration is free. Everyone who signs up will receive the recording after the event.
