BotSharp is an open-source multi-agent AI framework written in C# for .NET, providing an agent abstraction layer, conversation state management, and pluggable LLM providers. It follows a modular plugin and pipeline architecture so developers can integrate AI bots into existing business systems.

Use cases

• build a multi-agent chatbot in .NET
• integrate LLMs into an existing C# business application
• create a conversational AI platform with pluggable LLM providers
• manage conversation state across multiple AI agents
• build an enterprise AI assistant with modular components
• add natural language understanding to an information system

When to choose

• your stack is .NET/C# and you want an agent framework in that ecosystem
• you need multi-agent orchestration with conversation state management
• you want to swap LLM providers and UI components via unified interfaces
• you prefer an enterprise-grade, typed language for AI business logic

When to avoid

• you primarily work in Python where LangChain or similar have larger ecosystems
• you need a simple single-agent chatbot with minimal setup
• you require cutting-edge agent features that mature Python frameworks get first
