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.
