+title: Example Use Cases | Syncfusion AI Agent Tools
+description: Explore example use cases for building a Blog Generator agent using Syncfusion Word tools, the Microsoft Agent Framework, and OpenAI.
+platform: document-processing
+control: AI Agent Tools
+documentation: ug
+---
+
+# Create Custom Blog Generator Agent
+
+## Overview
+
+This example use case demonstrates building a **Blog Generator** that uses the [Microsoft Agent Framework](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/agent-framework/overview/agent-framework-overview?pivots=programming-language-csharp), OpenAI (text and image generation), and Syncfusion Word Agent Tools to convert a single user‑provided topic into a fully formatted blog ebook. The agent generates a title and structured outline, creates detailed content with relevant images, and outputs the final result in **HTML** and **Word (.docx)** formats. This sample application runs using [in‑memory mode](./getting-started-in-memory-mode.md) for document processing.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+
+
+>**Note:** The OpenAI API key is mandatory for this sample because the guide demonstrates the integration using the **Microsoft Agents Framework with OpenAI**. The same integration steps work with any other [provider](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/agent-framework/agents/providers/?pivots=programming-language-csharp) (Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Ollama, etc.) — just swap in that provider’s API key or endpoint credentials.
+
+## Configure OpenAI Credentials and Syncfusion Document SDK AI Agent Tools
+
+Integrating the Blog Generator agent into a console application involves the following step: configuring OpenAI credentials, registering the Syncfusion license, initializing the OpenAI client, setting up the Word Document Manager, and enabling Syncfusion Document SDK AI Agent tools for document creation and export.
+
+```csharp
+using Syncfusion.AI.AgentTools.Core;
+using Syncfusion.AI.AgentTools.Word;
+using Microsoft.Extensions.AI;
+using Microsoft.Agents.AI;
+using AITool = Syncfusion.AI.AgentTools.Core.AITool;
+using ChatMessage = Microsoft.Extensions.AI.ChatMessage;
+using ChatRole = Microsoft.Extensions.AI.ChatRole;
+
+// Register Syncfusion license
+string? licenseKey = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SYNCFUSION_LICENSE_KEY");
+if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(licenseKey))
+{
+ Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense(licenseKey);
+}
+
+// Read OpenAI credentials and model configuration
+var apiKey = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OPENAI_API_KEY")
+ ?? PromptRequired("OpenAI API key");
+
+var textModel = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OPENAI_TEXT_MODEL") ?? "gpt-4o";
+var imageModel = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OPENAI_IMAGE_MODEL") ?? "gpt-image-1.5";
+
+// Create OpenAI client and chat client
+var openAiClient = new OpenAIClient(new System.ClientModel.ApiKeyCredential(apiKey));
+var chatClient = openAiClient.GetChatClient(textModel);
+
+// Create Word Document Manager (in-memory with timeout)
+var wordManager = new WordDocumentManager(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10));
+var outputDir = Path.GetFullPath(Environment.CurrentDirectory + @"..\..\..\..\Data\Output\");
+
+var allSyncfusionTools = new List();
+allSyncfusionTools.AddRange(new WordDocumentAgentTools(wordManager, outputDirectory: outputDir).GetTools());
+allSyncfusionTools.AddRange(new WordImportExportAgentTools(wordManager).GetTools());
+
+// Convert Syncfusion tools to Microsoft.Extensions.AI compatible tools
+var aiTools = allSyncfusionTools
+ .Select(t => AIFunctionFactory.Create(
+ t.Method,
+ t.Instance,
+ new AIFunctionFactoryOptions
+ {
+ Name = t.Name,
+ Description = t.Description
+ }))
+ .Cast()
+ .ToList();
+```
+
+## Build Blog Generator Custom AI Agent Workflow
+
+This step builds the custom Blog Generator AI agent, generates blog content and images from a single topic, assembles the content into HTML, and finally converts the HTML into a Word document using Syncfusion Word AI Agent tools-all through a single agent‑driven workflow.
+
+```csharp
+// Build the AI agent with strict JSON output and Word tool execution rules
+AIAgent aiAgent = chatClient.AsIChatClient().AsAIAgent(
+ instructions: """
+ You are an expert technical blogger and document designer.
+ You always return only valid JSON when asked, with no markdown fences,
+ no extra commentary, and no trailing text outside the JSON object.
+
+ You also have access to Syncfusion Word document tools.
+ When asked to create a Word document:
+ 1. Call CreateDocument to create a new Word document (filePath=null).
+ 2. Call ImportHtml with the HTML content or file path and the documentId.
+ 3. Call ExportDocument with the documentId and the output file path (format "Docx").
+ Always follow this sequence and wait for each result before proceeding.

+ Console.WriteLine($" [Tool result: {result.Result}]");
+ }
+}
+```
+
+## How it works
+
+At runtime, the console application performs the following actions:
+
+1. **Ask blog topic.** Request the user to enter a blog topic from the console.
+2. **Provide the blog title and outline for confirmation.** The agent drafts a title and 6–10 section outline which is displayed for the user to approve, regenerate, or cancel (`[Y/n/r]`).
+3. **Draft blog content as HTML.** For each section, the agent generates structured HTML content with consistent styling.
+4. **Generate images for this blog using the `gpt-image-1.5` model.** For the required sections, the AI generates PNG images and embeds the generated images as Base64.
+5. **Convert the HTML to Word by using the Syncfusion AI Agent Tools library.** The AI agent autonomously chains `CreateDocument` → `ImportHtml` → `ExportDocument` from `WordDocumentAgentTools` and `WordImportExportAgentTools`.
+6. **Save both HTML and DOCX files.** The assembled self-contained HTML and the converted Word document are saved to the output folder.

+`DocumentManagerCollection` is a centralized registry that holds one document manager for each `DocumentType`. It is designed for tool classes that need to work across multiple document types within a single operation - specifically when the source and output documents belong to different document managers.
**Why it is needed:** Consider a Word-to-PDF conversion. The source Word document lives in `WordDocumentManager`, but the resulting PDF must be stored in `PdfDocumentManager`. Rather than hard coding both document managers into the tool class, `OfficeToPdfAgentTools` accepts a `DocumentManagerCollection` and detects the correct manager dynamically at runtime based on the `sourceType` argument.
