Open GitHub repoWhy it's picked
Microsoft's multi-agent conversation framework, credible in both research and engineering: built for complex tasks where agents must discuss, review and debate to produce a result — code review, proposal critique and the like.
Laojin's advice
Stick to the new AgentChat API in 0.4+ — most older examples and blog posts are outdated. Validate with a two-agent 'writer + critic' setup before attempting group chats. It's more flexible than CrewAI but the learning curve is steeper.
