Introduction to AutoGen: Microsoft’s Open-Source Framework for Agentic AI

AutoGen is Microsoft's open-source framework for building advanced agentic AI systems through multi-agent conversations. It enables developers to create AI agents that can collaborate, communicate, and solve complex problems by orchestrating interactions between multiple specialized agents. The framework simplifies the development of sophisticated AI applications by providing abstractions for agent creation, message passing, and conversation management.
