Key differences
No-code vs research-grade framework
Build AI agents by chatting in plain language. No code, no configuration files, no Azure setup. Deploy a working agent in minutes.
A research-originated framework from Microsoft Research for building multi-agent conversational systems. Requires programming in Python, .NET, or Java. Designed for developers and researchers, not business users.
Managed platform vs self-hosted only
Fully managed SaaS. We handle hosting, scaling, updates, and security. You focus on what your agent should do, not infrastructure.
Self-hosted only. There is no managed cloud platform. You are responsible for all infrastructure, deployment, scaling, and maintenance. Requires DevOps expertise.
Customer conversations vs agent-to-agent debates
Purpose-built for agents that talk to your customers across channels. Real-time chat on your website, WhatsApp, Telegram, and more.
Designed for multi-agent group conversations: agents debating, reaching consensus, and collaborating on tasks. Powerful for research and internal automation, but not designed for customer-facing real-time chat.
Stable platform vs framework in transition
A stable, managed product with consistent updates and backwards compatibility. You build on a reliable foundation.
Currently transitioning from AutoGen to the unified Microsoft Agent Framework (merging with Semantic Kernel). The migration path may require code changes, and the ecosystem is evolving rapidly.
