## Intro

AutoGen is Microsoft's open-source framework for building multi-agent conversational AI. Agents can chat with each other, use tools, execute code, and get human feedback — collaborating to solve complex tasks that single agents can't handle alone. Supports customizable conversation patterns, nested chats, and teachable agents. 56,000+ GitHub stars, the most popular multi-agent framework.

**Best for**: Building multi-agent systems where agents collaborate through conversation
**Works with**: OpenAI, Anthropic, local models, Azure OpenAI

## Core Concepts

### Conversable Agents
Every agent can send and receive messages, forming conversations:
```python
assistant = AssistantAgent("coder", model_client=model)
reviewer = AssistantAgent("reviewer", model_client=model,
    system_message="Review code for bugs and suggest improvements.")
```

### Multi-Agent Teams
Agents work together in teams with defined conversation patterns:
```python
from autogen_agentchat.teams import RoundRobinGroupChat
team = RoundRobinGroupChat([coder, reviewer, tester])
result = await team.run(task="Build a REST API for todos")
```

### Code Execution
Agents can write and execute code in sandboxed environments.

### Human-in-the-Loop
Insert human approval at any point in the agent conversation.

### AutoGen Studio
Visual UI for building and testing multi-agent workflows without code.
