AutoGen

Our Expert's Opinion

I found AutoGen to be powerful and exciting it's like giving me a whole team of AI-agents instead of just one. Each agent can play a different role (think: planner, coder, researcher), and together they can take on complex tasks, coordinate, call tools, reason in steps, and often succeed where a single model might struggle. On the upside, I liked how flexible and customizable it is: you can build workflows that mix model reasoning, tool usage, and even human-in-the-loop feedback. But it isn’t perfect. When workflows get complicated, AutoGen starts to feel hard to control: designing the right orchestration, avoiding “chat bloat,” tracking conversation state these can get messy. Also, since each agent chat or tool-call triggers a new call to LLMs, the cost and latency mount up quickly. For simpler tasks, the power of multi-agent collaboration feels like overkill. So my take: AutoGen shines when you have complex, multi-step, creative or tool-heavy tasks but for small or straightforward jobs, it might just make life harder than needed.
