About AutoGen

AutoGen is Microsoft Research's open-source framework for building multi-agent AI systems where multiple AI agents collaborate, debate, and execute tasks together. Agents can be LLMs, tools, or humans-in-the-loop. AutoGen Studio provides a no-code interface for building agent workflows visually. Used in production at Microsoft, Accenture, and hundreds of enterprises for complex task automation that benefits from agent specialization.
