It provides a set of agent types (ConversableAgent being the core) that can send and receive messages, generate replies using language models or tools, and be orchestrated into multi-agent systems using patterns like group chats, swarms, and nested chats. The framework handles agent-to-agent communication, tool registration and execution, human-in-the-loop workflows, and integration with various LLMs.\n\nThe package is built on pydantic for configuration, httpx for HTTP requests, and tiktoken for token counting. It depends on python-dotenv for API key management and termcolor for terminal output. This is the original AutoGen repository, now in maintenance mode receiving security and critical bug fixes only; the actively developed version is published separately as ag2.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a multi-agent framework and accept maintenance-mode status. The package is production-stable, actively maintained for security, has low install friction, and supports Python 3.10+. However, be aware it receives only critical fixes and security patches\u2014no new features. If you need active development and new capabilities, consider ag2 instead."},"id":"autogen","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/autogen","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/autogen.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/autogen/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-30","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"autogen","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A programming framework for agentic AI"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":161208,"position":10641,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.14.1"}
