<p>In the rapidly advancing world of AI, Microsoft is leading the charge in developing <strong>Agentic AI</strong> frameworks. These platforms enable developers to create autonomous, intelligent systems capable of executing complex tasks with minimal human intervention. The standout offerings from Microsoft - <strong>AutoGen</strong> and <strong>Semantic Kernel</strong> - are revolutionizing the possibilities of what AI systems can achieve.</p> <blockquote> <p>The two agentic framework teams <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/semantic-kernel/microsofts-agentic-ai-frameworks-autogen-and-semantic-kernel/?WT.mc_id=DT-MVP-5004591">are working quickly and diligently to get to an alignment between the two Agentic Framewords</a>, with the goal of making it available in early 2025 with version 0.4.</p> </blockquote> <h2 id=what-are-agentic-ai-frameworks>What Are Agentic AI Frameworks?</h2> <p>Agentic AI frameworks are tools and libraries that simplify the creation of AI systems designed to act as "agents." These agents can perform tasks autonomously, coordinate with other agents, and interact with humans when needed. By using such frameworks, developers can design solutions that:</p> <ul><li>Automate repetitive and intricate processes.</li> <li>Collaborate with other AI agents to manage multifaceted workflows.</li> <li>Provide real-time dynamic responses and adapt to new scenarios efficiently.</li></ul> <p>These frameworks are particularly valuable in a world increasingly reliant on AI-driven automation and interaction.</p> <h3 id=autogen>AutoGen</h3> <p><strong>AutoGen</strong>, developed by Microsoft’s AI Frontiers Lab, focuses on creating distributed, event-driven systems where multiple AI agents collaborate to achieve complex goals. It is a versatile tool designed to simplify the development of multi-agent frameworks, enabling solutions for intricate workflows.</p> <h4 id=what-makes-autogen-unique>What Makes AutoGen Unique?</h4> <ol><li><strong>Distributed Systems:</strong> Supports the creation of agentic ecosystems where multiple agents work together, even across diverse environments.</li> <li><strong>Event-Driven Workflows:</strong> Allows agents to respond dynamically to events, making the framework highly adaptable to evolving requirements.</li> <li><strong>Language Support:</strong> Currently supports C# and Python, with plans for expanded language compatibility in the future.</li> <li><strong>Human-AI Collaboration:</strong> AutoGen’s agents can operate autonomously or include human oversight when necessary, making it suitable for fully automated or hybrid workflows.</li></ol> <h4 id=example-applications>Example Applications</h4> <ul><li><strong>Supply Chain Optimization:</strong> Using AutoGen, companies can deploy a network of AI agents that coordinate to monitor inventory levels, predict demand, and automate order placements, ensuring just-in-time delivery.</li> <li><strong>Smart Home Management:</strong> AutoGen can power a system where different agents manage lighting, temperature, and security autonomously, while interacting with the homeowner to adapt settings based on preferences.</li> <li><strong>Collaborative Problem Solving:</strong> AutoGen enables the creation of a multi-agent system where individual agents tackle different parts of a complex problem, such as disaster response planning or multi-departmental project management.</li></ul> <h4 id=code-sample>Code Sample</h4> <p>Below is an example of creating a multi-agent system using AutoGen in Python. The script sets up a group chat simulation with three agents—a user proxy, a coder, and a product manager - using the <code>autogen</code> library. It configures each agent with specific roles and settings, including language model parameters for the coder and product manager, and code execution preferences for the user proxy. The group chat is managing a discussion aimed at finding a recent GPT-4 paper on arXiv and exploring its potential software applications.</p> <pre><code class=language-python>import autogen

This effort aims to offer developers a unified framework for experimenting with advanced agentic patterns and transitioning smoothly to production-ready environments. The integration is expected to complete by early 2025, bringing changes to the AutoGen API. Additionally, Microsoft introduced AG2, a branch of AutoGen maintained by its original creators, which will preserve existing features and remain unaffected by the forthcoming changes.</p> <h3 id=autogen-version-overview-as-of-2025-01-02>AutoGen Version Overview (as of 2025-01-02)</h3> <ul><li><strong>AutoGen v0.2:</strong> The current version.</li> <li><strong>AutoGen v0.3:</strong> This is a branch of v0.2 and it has been rebranded as <a href="https://ag2.ai/">AG2</a>. It will continue as an independent project supporting current features.</li> <li><strong>AutoGen v0.4:</strong> This is the continuation of v0.2 that is currently being worked in alignment with Semantic Kernel. It is in <a href=https://microsoft.github.io/autogen>preview</a> and represents the future of AutoGen. This alignment marks a transformative step in unifying the agentic AI ecosystem, significantly enhancing its utility for developers and enterprises.</li></ul> <p>Until the integration is finalized, developers are advised to:</p> <ul><li>Use <strong>Semantic Kernel</strong> for production environments.</li> <li>Use <strong>AutoGen</strong> for experimentation.</li> <li>Consider the <strong>AG2</strong> path to avoid the migration overhead from AutoGen v0.2 to v0.4, loosing though the alignment with Semantic Kernel along with all new features.</li></ul> <h2 id=beyond-semantic-kernel-and-autogen>Beyond Semantic Kernel and AutoGen</h2> <p>Microsoft’s commitment to agentic AI extends beyond Semantic Kernel and AutoGen. Additional frameworks and tools illustrate the company’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of AI innovation:</p> <ul><li><strong>TinyTroupe:</strong> TinyTroupe is an experimental Python library that allows the simulation of people with specific personalities, interests, and goals. These artificial agents - <code>TinyPersons</code> - can listen to us and one another, reply back, and go about their lives in simulated <code>TinyWorld</code> environments. Read more here: <a href=https://github.com/microsoft/TinyTroupe>https://github.com/microsoft/TinyTroupe</a></li> <li><strong>Magentic-One:</strong> Build on AutoGen, it's a sophisticated framework for orchestrating specialized agents to tackle complex, domain-specific challenges. For example, Magentic-One can be used to manage a healthcare system where agents specialize in tasks like patient triage, appointment scheduling, and resource allocation. Each agent operates independently, but the framework ensures seamless coordination, enabling a comprehensive solution.</li></ul> <p>These complementary tools expand the scope of agentic AI, offering new avenues for innovation in various industries.</p> <h2 id=ready-to-build-the-future>Ready to Build the Future?</h2> <p>With frameworks like Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, and more, Microsoft is opening the door to a new world of possibilities.
