Building LLM-powered autonomous agents has become a much-talked-about topic with the speed Large Language Models are evolving today. In the past year alone, a lot of new technologies and frameworks have emerged based on this idea.

When exploring such available options, we came across Autogen, an open-source agent communication framework developed by Microsoft.

Autogen fills a gap that many such new technologies have failed to address: allowing multiple agents to collaborate to achieve a common goal.

It adds minimal yet vital functionality on top of an LLM to support initialization and collaboration of multiple agents. It allows setting up one-to-one communication avenues between these agents as well as group chats with several participant agents. This, especially, was indispensable for our use case.

But as a framework still in its early age, we found integrating Autogen’s agent system into an actual production environment, like a web app, via an API to be a challenge still. Due to the lack of existing documentation or resources, it required a few workarounds in the agent communication flow that we had to discover the hard way.

So, in this article, I want to discuss the step-by-step process of connecting Autogen agents to…
