Microsoft AutoGen
Microsoft's multi-agent conversation framework. Excellent for agent-to-agent delegation patterns. Strong enterprise adoption and active development.
Solid choice for most workflows
You need agents that delegate tasks to each other in complex, dynamic workflows without constant human babysitting.
Excellent for delegation-heavy tasks like supply chain optimization or code generation; v0.4's observability shines in debugging, but expect some tuning for production stability.
Prototyping enterprise agent teams tied to real business data and Microsoft stack takes too long.
Rapid from-idea-to-demo (hours not days); HIL workflows prevent rogue agents, but custom enterprise auth needs tool coding.
Your agents need to run distributed across teams or languages without integration hell.
Handles long-running, boundary-crossing collabs well; strong for Microsoft shops, minor quirks in non-Python langs.
AutoGen excels at multi-agent delegation; Semantic Kernel prioritizes single-agent orchestration.
Pick AutoGen for A2A conversations, distributed workflows, and event-driven agent teams.
Choose Semantic Kernel for semantic functions, simpler LLM chaining, or .NET-heavy single-agent apps.
Async architecture learning curve
v0.4's event-driven model can lead to unpredictable message flows if not traced properly; use built-in observability and OpenTelemetry from day one to avoid heisenbugs.
Trust Breakdown
What It Actually Does
Microsoft AutoGen lets you build teams of AI agents that chat and collaborate to handle complex tasks, like planning trips or analyzing data. You define their roles, tools, and conversations to automate workflows with optional human input.
