AutoGen is a Python framework from Microsoft for building multi-agent AI applications where LLM-powered agents can act autonomously or collaborate with humans. It is now in maintenance mode, with Microsoft Agent Framework as its production-ready successor.

Use cases

• build multi-agent ai applications
• orchestrate llm agents that talk to each other
• create autonomous ai agents in python
• prototype agent workflows with gpt-4o
• build agents with no-code gui
• add human-in-the-loop to ai agents

When to choose

• you need a mature, widely-adopted multi-agent framework in Python
• you want AutoGen Studio's no-code agent prototyping
• you have existing AutoGen v0.2 code to maintain

When to avoid

• you are starting a new project - use Microsoft Agent Framework instead
• you need new features or long-term support commitments
• you need enterprise-grade multi-agent orchestration with A2A/MCP interoperability
