How it works / How to use

Open-source framework from Microsoft for building multi-agent applications where agents converse, plan, and execute code or tools collaboratively. AutoGen supports customizable agent roles and human-in-the-loop workflows.

  1. Define the trigger and goal for your workflow in AutoGen.
  2. Connect only the integrations you need and test with sample data.
  3. Add guardrails: approval steps, error alerts, and rate limits.
  4. Monitor early runs and adjust prompts or filters before scaling volume.

How to prompt

Multi-agent role separation is a core AutoGen pattern for quality control.

Design an AutoGen setup where a coder agent implements a Python function and a reviewer agent checks for edge cases before returning final code.

Best output tips

  • Test automations on sandbox data first.
  • Log failures and cap retry loops.
  • Document which model or step owns each decision.
  • Verify current plans and limits on the official AutoGen website.
