Excerpt

AutoGen Expert Skill

AutoGen (by Microsoft Research) is a framework for conversational multi-agent AI. Unlike LangGraph's explicit graph topology or CrewAI's role-based crews, AutoGen uses agent-to-agent conversations as the orchestration primitive. Agents communicate through structured chat, with built-in patterns for nested conversations, group chat with routing, and code execution.

Core Paradigm

from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_agentchat.ui import Console
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o-mini")

assistant = AssistantAgent(
    name="assistant",
    system_message="You are a helpful assistant.",
    model_client=model_client,
)
