AutoGen FULL Tutorial with Python (Step-By-Step) 🤯 Build AI Agent Teams!

This is an intermediate tutorial for installing and using AutoGen locally instead of Google Colab. I previously created a video giving a beginner overview of AutoGen and a quick Google Colab tutorial, but now we go deeper! I show you step-by-step how to install and use AutoGen in any application using Visual Studio Code, Anaconda, OpenAI, and AutoGen.

Enjoy :)

Advanced guide coming soon. What topics do you want me to cover?

[dclutter]

Yes! Please keep doing this series! On a side note, it's been awesome to watch you grow over the last 7ish months. Your content here, and your personal knowledge and skills have shown a tremendous improvement! Your walkthroughs have helped me, and many others keep up with the incredible volume of AI developments lately. So.... Thank you 🙏.

[spencerphillips]

Just have to say it. You’re an awesome dude, and I look forward to your videos every day. Your passion is clearly genuine and certainly contagious. I wish you nothing but continued and growing success in life and your video-making ventures! You rock Matthew Berman.

These AutoGen tutorials are extremely helpful, Matthew. Please continue rolling out this content.

As a postgraduate student, I'd love to see how it could be used in academic research. While I wouldn't trust it to write a paper, it could be helpful in assessing which papers are worth reading when researching a specific topic. Or it could browse the internet and search for relevant papers that the researcher has missed, but that could get quite expensive.

I'm sure many people would find it useful, since it would be applicable even outside of Academia. And there are definitely more ways in which it could simplify research that I haven't thought of (other than writing fake papers haha) :)

I would really like to see you do some more advanced stuff. I'm new to coding and kind of jumped into the deep end by focusing on AI. I had spent roughly 100 hours on working with ChatDev and I've already started porting my agents over to AutoGen, but I would love to see how far the rabbit hole goes.

What would be super cool would be doing a video game type visualization of what AutGen does from a dialog similar to Chat Dev. I love being able to watch my little design firm work through the task I give it visually. Being able to orginize by "company" like Chat Dev would be awesome too. That way you could have different sets of agents built for any series of given tasks, but if they arent need you could lean out the code by removing unnecessary agents. I'll end you creating profules anyway, but the concept of creating almost an entire ecosystem of different "companies" that do different things (SEO, branding, design, front end/ back end integration, etc) would be very interesting.

Love your videos and I appreciate you take care to explain every steps as I am just learning how to code. I would love if you do a tutorial about how to write a book autonomously, from finding ideas, to writing a summary and then completing each chapter. That would be a great project starting point for me. Really exited about your next videos!

[MetaphoricMinds]

Matt.... THANK YOU for breaking these down in step-by-step. You are giving us so much knowledge and capability. Truely, thank you.

[ciaopizzabella]

Very good tutorial! ... BUT... I have seen a ton of videos using LLM agents to make trivial examples but never any more substantial app. It would be great if you could demonstrate how to make a more significant app or game that consists of multiple files, image resources, etc., and where you also participate in editing code (for fixing some bugs or making changes this is often much easier and faster than getting the agents to do it).

[Levicandoit]

You mentioned multi agents Matt, but how I would love to see some more tutorials on how to actually get all those agents to work together

[Chasingaxl]

Glad to see someone else is so excited about this. I am here with you. Let's push this to the limits. I am ready to create my army of agents and groups. Great work buddy!

[almahmeed]

This is so interesting. It worked from the 1st time after correcting one of my spelling mistakes :) I made it generate a list of chemical elements with their details ..

Can't wait to watch the open source and other parts of those videos. Thank you so much.

[manuelherrerahipnotista]

In only two days big fan of your work man. Simple and to the point. Way to go.

[mercypark]

Bro right?! It’s the obsession I can’t get away from. Starting this second video now. I’m hoping we’ll focus on coding agents. If not more of that would be wonderful! You’re the best btw.

[cutty]

I've been messing with it AutoGen since you introduced it and I love it. I am at work so I am going to listen to it here and then when I get home I'll work along if there's anything like that. The only thing I wish I knew if you could do is have multiple other AI working together. IE have Bard, GPT, some HuggingFace models, etc. I bought a 4090 and a solid rig to run some AI locally and I'm ready to learn! lol

[alwattsj]

Matt, great tutorial. Thank you. For the community, in some limited testing I have had success using the 'gpt-3.5-turbo-16k' model for the assistant and 'gpt-4' for the user proxy. It seems like (specifically for code execution) the user proxy won't actually initiate execution of code from the assistant if the user proxy is using gpt-3.5. Probably worth exploring deeper as these agent 'teams' grow in size.

[alwarya]

Wow just when I asked for it. Thank you for creating such informational videos and providing resources as well. May god bless you for your work 🙏🏻 And really really interested in the Autogen series and advanced tutorials

[maxivy]

This man is a fixture of the early day AI revolution just by virtue of spreading accessibility, knowledge and passion. Sincerely thank you

[animeshdevarshi]

This tutorial is so good, that I am watching it third time. Many thanks for this work.

[cedricsipakam]

This tutorial was just what I needed. You are the best!
