AutoGen

AutoGen is Microsoft's multi-agent framework for building autonomous AI conversations. It enables multiple AI agents to collaborate, debate, and iterate on tasks through structured conversations.

I use AutoGen for workflows where multiple perspectives or iterative refinement improve the output - code review with multiple reviewer agents, content creation with writing and editing agents, or analysis that benefits from different analytical approaches.

For Barnsley businesses, AutoGen is useful when the AI workflow benefits from multiple passes or perspectives. Rather than a single-shot LLM call, you get a collaborative process that produces more reliable and thorough results.
