Semantic Kernel’s successor makes migration a live check
Microsoft has designated Microsoft Agent Framework, now at version 1.0 with long-term support, as Semantic Kernel’s successor. GitHub Copilot is simultaneously presenting a broader agent workspace: a macOS desktop app, third-party agents including Claude and OpenAI Codex, custom MCP servers, and background workflows. Together, those changes make the framework beneath an agent and the workspace around it active architecture choices rather than separate purchases. If you build on Semantic Kernel, map the Microsoft Agent Framework migration path and test how its agent boundaries fit your Copilot and MCP policies today.

Agenticness Leaderboard
This week's most-clicked tools, re-ranked by rubric score. The score is the editorial signal; the popularity is what drew the directory's traffic here this week.
- Hyper · 22/36 · Domain Specialist · L3
Hyper is a cloud-based autonomous software engineering platform for turning product objectives into tested code in your GitHub repositories. It plans work, runs parallel agent sessions in isolated lanes, verifies results server-side, and can open pull requests or deploy supported projects.
- Sinatra · 21/36 · Domain Specialist · L3
Sinatra is an autonomous coding agent that takes work from Linear or GitHub, reads the relevant repository, writes a change, runs tests, and opens a draft pull request. Teams review the result in GitHub and can request follow-up changes in the PR thread.
Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal. It understands your entire codebase, makes multi-file edits, runs commands, manages git workflows, and uses MCP for tool integration. Built with a Unix philosophy — it reads, plans, edits, and verifies in a loop. The fastest-growing product in the coding agent category.
- Cursor · 18/36 · Adaptive Collaborator · L2
Cursor is a developer-focused AI environment that adds agents, context, and automation around your repositories. It combines an editor-like interface, a CLI, and a cloud agent API to automate code review, bug fixing, CI hygiene, and more. Designed for individual developers and engineering teams who want AI to take real actions in their code and infrastructure, not just chat.
- Cline · 18/36 · Adaptive Collaborator · L2
Cline is an AI coding assistant for VS Code that can inspect your project, edit files, run terminal commands, and use a browser while asking for permission at each step. It is aimed at developers working on real codebases who want more than code completion.
Learn: Copilot vs. agent
A copilot suggests and waits. An agent decides the next step and takes it. The difference is who controls the loop.
Say you ask a tool to clean up a customer support inbox. A copilot might draft reply options, flag angry messages, and wait for you to pick one. An agent could read the inbox, decide which tickets need replies, send a refund request for a low-value complaint, assign a bug report to engineering, then come back with a summary. Same starting input, different amount of autonomy.
In practice, copilot tools reduce your typing. Agent tools reduce your decision load, but they also raise the stakes, since the tool can act before you review every step.
What agentic AI actually means →
One tool worth testing
Composio — Composio is worth testing for teams that need to connect agents to managed apps and sandboxed tool workflows. Its revised plans add a free Hobby tier with 100,000 tool calls per month while also changing paid allowances and managed-app and sandbox billing, making this a useful point to validate actual integration economics. In a 30-minute pilot, compare one agent-to-app workflow against your direct API integration on setup effort, permission handling, and cost visibility.
Our pick: Claude Code
The use case: coding agents.
Tops our independent /36 — the tiebreaker over Cursor: Continuity 3 vs 1. Pricing: Per-seat (usage per member, NOT pooled).
Ranked by our 9-dimension Agenticness rubric — not by who pays us (nobody does). The full scorecard, true-cost pricing, and the reliability evidence behind every score are in the report.
