Workshop Title: Introduction to Generative AI Agents: AutoGen
Presenters: Ravi Shankar Goli, XiaoYun Zhang and Eric Zhu, Microsoft
Introduction:
Generative AI agents are revolutionizing how we automate and manage complex workflows. In this presentation, we will delve into AutoGen, an advanced framework designed by Microsoft for creating multi-agent systems that autonomously collaborate, solve problems, and interact with users. AutoGen enables seamless integration between large language models (LLMs), tools, and human inputs, supporting dynamic, conversation-driven task execution. Whether it’s automating code generation, optimizing workflows, or performing real-time decision-making, AutoGen simplifies the development of intelligent agents, reducing the need for manual intervention and enabling rapid deployment across diverse applications.
Attendees will explore basic understanding of Agents, including its multi-agent conversation framework, customizable agent design, and real-world use cases in areas like code automation and collaborative problem-solving. Whether you’re an AI developer or a tech enthusiast, this session offers deep insights into how AutoGen is shaping the future of AI-driven systems.
