Contoso Creative Writer is an open-source sample project demonstrating how to build and deploy an AI-driven creative writing assistant using Azure AI services. Leveraging Azure OpenAI models, Bot Framework, and optional Semantic Kernel integration, this agent engages users through conversational prompts to generate story ideas, character backstories, dialogue suggestions, and plot outlines. Developers can customize prompt templates, adjust tone and writing style, and integrate additional data sources. The application includes a web-based chat interface powered by Azure Bot Service, enabling real-time interactions and seamless cloud deployment. With modular architecture and clear code examples, Contoso Creative Writer serves as a foundation for creating tailored writing solutions, from fiction storytelling to marketing copy generation, enhancing creativity and productivity.

crewAI Playground is a developer toolkit and sandbox for building and experimenting with AI-driven agents. You define agents via configuration files or code, specifying prompts, tools, and memory modules. The playground runs multiple agents concurrently, handles message routing, and logs conversation history. It supports plugin integrations for external data sources, customizable memory backends (in-memory or persistent), and a web interface for testing. Use it to prototype chatbots, virtual assistants, and automated workflows before production deployment.
