Microsoft Agent was a Microsoft Windows technology for interactive animated characters and voice-based interaction.
An aaf file contains data used by Microsoft Agent. It is part of the supporting data for the Agent software rather than a general-purpose document format.
Microsoft Agent is legacy software and is not a standard component of current Windows releases.
On a Windows system with Microsoft Agent installed, the Agent software or an application that uses it can load the aaf file. The file is not generally intended to be opened or edited as a standalone document.
There is no generally supported conversion utility for the aaf file. To preserve the data, keep the original file and use it with the Microsoft Agent application that requires it.
