AutoGen Free

AutoGen is an open-source framework from Microsoft Research for building multi-agent AI applications. It lets developers define multiple agents that converse, collaborate, and execute tasks together, with humans optionally in the loop for oversight and refinement.

AutoGen abstracts the complexity of orchestrating LLM agents, providing conversation patterns, tool use, and code execution so teams can prototype and deploy agentic systems quickly.

Product Features

• Multi-Agent Conversations — define agents that talk to each other to solve tasks.
• Human-in-the-Loop — configurable human oversight at any stage.
• Code Execution — agents can write and run code safely in a sandbox.
• Tool Use — integrate external APIs, functions, and data sources.
• Flexible Orchestration — sequential, group chat, and hierarchical patterns.
• Language Support — works with Python and .NET ecosystems.

Product Highlights

• Open source — freely extensible and community-driven.
• Backed by Microsoft Research — production-grade research foundation.
• Model agnostic — use OpenAI, Azure, or local models.
• Active ecosystem — extensive examples and tooling.

Use Cases

• Build research assistants that gather, analyse, and summarise information.
• Create coding agents that write, test, and debug software.
• Automate complex business processes with collaborating agents.
• Prototype autonomous workflows with human review checkpoints.
• Develop domain-specific assistants for finance, healthcare, or legal.
