Autogen
This framework provides a development environment for building collaborative systems where autonomous agents interact to solve complex tasks through conversational workflows. It functions as a conversational workflow engine and event-driven runtime, coordinating multi-step processes by translating high-level goals into structured dialogue sequences between specialized agents.
The system distinguishes itself through its message-passing orchestration, which manages state transitions and task delegation between independent participants. It supports dynamic conversation state management to provide persistent memory during multi-turn interactions, and it incorporates human-in-the-loop capabilities that allow for review or modification of agent outputs at specific message boundaries.
Beyond core orchestration, the framework enables the integration of pluggable tools, allowing agents to invoke external functions and APIs through natural language requests. This architecture supports the construction of scalable, event-driven systems that automate sequences of tasks across digital tools and connect large language models to external data sources for autonomous reasoning.
