What is AutoGen?

AutoGen is a framework designed for creating multi-agent applications, which involve multiple LLM (Large Language Model) agents working together towards a common goal. These applications often aim to replicate the structure of human teams and organizations. Agents in AutoGen are defined with a name, description, system prompt, and configuration that specifies the LLM to use and any necessary API keys. Tools can be attached to agents as functions they can call, such as connections to external systems or regular code logic blocks. Various interaction structures like two-agent chat, sequential chat, and group chat are supported by AutoGen. The benefits of using AutoGen include easier creation of multi-agent applications, prebuilt organization options, and the ability to handle communication between agents.
