Microsoft's AutoGen is an open-source framework developed by Microsoft Research that allows developers to build applications through multiple conversable agents working in tandem. It supports dynamic dialogue, human-in-the-loop workflows, tool integration, and code execution- all within a flexible Python-based environment. igmGuru's Microsoft AutoGen Course covers the full breadth of this framework, from agent configuration and group-chat orchestration to RAG pipelines, AutoGen Studio, and responsible deployment on Azure infrastructure. By the time you finish, you will not just understand multi-agent theory - you will have built real systems and earned a Microsoft AutoGen Certification recognized across the industry.
Prerequisites
This course is designed to be accessible while still being professionally rigorous. You are expected to bring:
- Working knowledge of Python (variables, loops, functions, libraries)
- Familiarity with basic cloud computing concepts, particularly Microsoft Azure
- Understanding of what Large Language Models (LLMs) are and how APIs work
- Basic awareness of REST APIs and JSON data structures
- A curious, problem-solving mindset - no prior agent framework experience required
Course Objectives
By the end of this programme, you will have moved from concept to capability - understanding not just how AutoGen works, but how to deploy it meaningfully.
- Understand the architecture and design philosophy behind Microsoft's AutoGen framework
- Configure and deploy ConversableAgents including AssistantAgent and UserProxyAgent
- Build multi-agent workflows using GroupChatManager and custom orchestration logic
- Integrate external tools, APIs, and code execution environments within agent pipelines
- Connect AutoGen with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using vector databases
- Use AutoGen Studio to design and prototype workflows without writing boilerplate code
- Implement human-in-the-loop checkpoints for feedback-driven, controllable agents
- Secure multi-agent deployments using Azure Entra ID and responsible AI principles
- Package and deploy agent systems using Docker and understand Kubernetes-level scaling
- Complete a capstone project that demonstrates end-to-end multi-agent system development
