AutoGen
Microsoft's framework for building multi-agent AI systems in Python
About
AutoGen is Microsoft's open-source framework for building applications where multiple AI agents converse and collaborate to solve tasks, with tools, human input, and code execution in the loop. It includes AutoGen Studio, a no-code interface for prototyping agent teams. Note: Microsoft has archived the AutoGen repository and no longer maintains it, directing new projects to Microsoft Agent Framework — AutoGen remains usable and widely referenced, but pick it knowing it is in maintenance-freeze.
