AutoGen Studio: A No-Code Developer Tool for Building and Debugging Multi-Agent Systems

Multi-agent systems, where multiple agents (generative AI models + tools) collaborate, are emerging as an effective pattern for solving long-running, complex tasks in numerous domains. However, specifying their parameters (such as models, tools, and orchestration mechanisms etc,.) and debugging them remains challenging for most developers. To address this challenge, we present AUTOGEN STUDIO, a no-code developer tool for rapidly prototyping, debugging, and evaluating multi-agent workflows built upon the AUTOGEN framework. AUTOGEN STUDIO offers a web interface and a Python API for representing LLM-enabled agents using a declarative (JSON-based) specification. It provides an intuitive drag-and-drop UI for agent workflow specification, interactive evaluation and debugging of workflows, and a gallery of reusable agent components. We highlight four design principles for no-code multi-agent developer tools and contribute an open-source implementation on GitHub. (opens in new tab)

 

AutoGen Studio architecture

AUTOGEN STUDIO provides a backend api (web, python, cli) and a UI which implements a playground (shown), build and gallery view. In the playground view, users can run tasks in a session based on a workflow. Users can also observe actions taken by agents, reviewing agent messages and metrics based on a profiler module.

 

AutoGen Update: Complex Tasks and Agents

Adam Fourney discusses the effectiveness of using multiple agents, working together, to complete complex multi-step tasks. He will showcase their capability to outperform previous single-agent solutions on benchmarks like GAIA, utilizing customizable arrangements of agents that collaborate, reason, and utilize tools to achieve complex outcomes.
