Autogen

Agent Frameworks active ★ 4.5 open-source · $0 Free tier available

Autogen is a Microsoft open-source framework that simplifies the orchestration, optimization, and automation of multi-agent AI applications. It allows developers to define conversational agents that can communicate and collaborate to solve complex tasks, abstracting away much of the underlying LLM interaction. Its strength lies in enabling sophisticated workflows and autonomous problem-solving through configurable agents.
