Exploring Autogen – a new wave of automation possibilities!

Posted on by Annie D

Autogen is a relatively new AI agent framework supported by Microsoft.

I’ve been diving deep into this lately and I show you some of my recent findings.

This is the future! I have no doubt about it.

It’s still early but I highlight the automation potential throughout the video.

I’m going to spend A LOT more time here in coming months. I think this is a massive new wave coming.

I highly recommend doing the same.

I’ll keep sharing what I’m learning
