Microsoft AutoGen is designed to facilitate the end-to-end development of autonomous AI agents by providing modular components for memory management, task planning, tool integration, and communication. Developers can define custom tools with structured schemas and connect to major LLM providers such as OpenAI and Azure OpenAI. The framework supports both single-agent and multi-agent orchestration, enabling collaborative workflows where agents coordinate to complete complex tasks. Its plug-and-play architecture allows easy extension with new memory stores, planning strategies, and communication protocols. By abstracting the low-level integration details, AutoGen accelerates prototyping and deployment of AI-driven applications across domains like customer support, data analysis, and process automation.

Multi-Agent Systems provides a comprehensive toolkit for creating, controlling, and observing interactions among autonomous agents. Developers can define agent classes with custom decision-making logic, set up complex environments with configurable resources and rules, and implement communication channels for information exchange. The framework supports synchronous and asynchronous scheduling, event-driven behaviors, and integrates logging for performance metrics. Users can extend core modules or integrate external AI models to enhance agent intelligence. Visualization tools render simulations in real-time or post-process, helping analyze emergent behaviors and optimize system parameters. From academic research to prototype distributed applications, Multi-Agent Systems simplifies end-to-end multi-agent simulations.

JADE is a Java-based agent framework enabling developers to create, deploy, and manage multiple autonomous software agents across distributed environments. Each agent runs within a container, communicates via FIPA-compliant Agent Communication Language (ACL), and can register services with a Directory Facilitator for discovery. Agents execute predefined behaviors or dynamic tasks and can migrate between containers using Remote Method Invocation (RMI). JADE supports ontology definitions for structured message content and provides graphical tools for monitoring agent states and message exchanges. Its modular architecture allows integration with external services, databases, and REST interfaces, making it suitable for developing simulations, IoT orchestrations, negotiation systems, and more. The framework’s extensibility and compliance with industry standards streamline the implementation of complex multi-agent systems.

MACL is a modular Python framework designed to simplify the creation and orchestration of multiple AI agents. It lets you define individual agents with custom skills, set up communication channels, and schedule tasks across an agent network. Agents can exchange messages, negotiate responsibilities, and adapt dynamically based on shared data. With built-in support for popular LLMs and a plugin system for extensibility, MACL enables scalable and maintainable AI workflows across domains like customer service automation, data analysis pipelines, and simulation environments.
