🤖 AutoGen Flashcards
AutoGen multi-agent framework helps teams build cooperative LLM apps with clear roles, tool use, and structured chat. It supports agent-to-agent conversations, code execution, and web search. As a result, you can automate longer tasks more reliably. The flashcards below highlight core ideas, defaults, and common commands.
🔍 What is AutoGen?
An open-source framework from Microsoft for building multi-agent LLM apps with structured inter-agent communication.
🧠 What are agents?
Customizable, autonomous entities that can chat with each other, use tools, and solve tasks cooperatively.
🔁 How does communication work?
Agents take turns in an event loop, sending messages until the task completes or the session ends.
📦 Built-in agents
Includes AssistantAgent, UserProxyAgent, and GroupChatManager to speed up development.
🧰 Tool use
Agents can run code, search the web, access data sources, and call LLM functions. Therefore, they can handle richer tasks.
📜 What is GroupChat?
A manager that orchestrates multi-agent chats, moderates turn-taking, and keeps the flow on track.
⚙️ Installation
Install with:
pip install pyautogen. Then configure your LLM provider keys.🌐 Open-source?
Yes. It’s MIT-licensed on GitHub and actively maintained by Microsoft Research and the community.
💬 UserProxyAgent
Simulates a human interface for prompting, feedback, and hybrid human/agent workflows.
📍 Use cases
Research assistants, coding copilots, autonomous report generators, and agent-based simulations.
