AutoGen is an open-source framework for building agentic AI systems. Since the release in October 2023, it has gained remarkable popularity with over 1.6M downloads on GitHub and 31.8k stars.  Agents built with AutoGen have demonstrated SOTA performance on multiple agentic benchmarks. Enterprises, academic groups, and other communities have been using the framework to create multi-agent solutions for a wide range of scenarios including to perform business processes and drive novel AI based systems.”

In October 2024, we released AutoGen 0.4, a complete redesign from the foundation up based on lessons learned from the AutoGen’s community’s diverse use cases and contributions. AutoGen 0.4 simplifies the creation of event-driven, distributed, scalable, and resilient agentic applications. It allows to quickly build systems where AI agents collaborate and perform tasks autonomously or with human oversight.  

This workshop will introduce AutoGen’s new design concepts and library components that make AutoGen 0.4 a powerful tool for agentic development and research. Following the introduction, attendees will engage in a hands-on tutorial, guiding them through the process of customizing a multi-agent application. This practical session will provide valuable experience in leveraging the framework’s features to build robust, scalable AI systems.
