Exploring multi-agent applications
AutoGen provides building blocks for applications in which agents exchange messages and use tools. Start by defining the participants, the information each needs, and how the interaction ends. A narrow example makes it easier to understand message flow than a large team of agents with overlapping responsibilities.
Controlling execution
Set clear stopping conditions and review the permissions granted to executable tools. Log the interaction and test what happens when a tool fails or an agent returns incomplete information. Check the official repository for current version guidance, since examples and APIs can differ between releases.
Who it suits
Developers researching agent architectures.
Before you start
Read current repository maintenance guidance before adopting it for a new application.
