AutoGen Tutorial 2.0 🔥 How to Build POWERFUL AI Agents with AutoGen Studio UI 

PART 2: The Advanced Tutorial is coming soon! What do YOU want to learn? Comment below!

I have blindly followed directions on how to set up environments....which is fine when it works - but I had no clue what to do when it didn't. Your patient explanation has not only enabled me to install Autogen ..... but also to understand what I was doing in other projects. This is really appreciated

I was reading through their docs. I thought this was hilarious: "Agents keep thanking each other when using gpt-3.5-turbo When using gpt-3.5-turbo you may often encounter agents going into a "gratitude loop", meaning when they complete a task they will begin congratulating and thanking each other in a continuous loop. This is a limitation in the performance of gpt-3.5-turbo, in contrast to gpt-4 wh..."

Your patient and clear communication is very helpful. Especially for those who have no coding experience. Most tutorials I've found anticipate the viewer has somewhat of an general understanding of little details but pointing out the meanings and terms of various commands helps a great deal to absorb that foundational knowledge, internalize it and run with it. Thanks, your work is well appreciated!

This is incredible! I can't wait to start building with it. thank you so much, Wes!

❤ I watched over en AutoGen tutorials, but yours is the best in every aspect. 🎉

I almost forgot you code 😅, it’s been a while, I followed you after seeing the first open interpreter video last summer, good to see this!

Wes, keep up the great work! You're my go to guy for everything AI. Thank you for all you've done and are doing.

Would love to see a Autogen setup guide running Mistral locally, instead of using OAI API.

I wasn't going to attempt install, Wes. But with your encouragement... I'm goin' for it

great job Roth, many thanks for this video. looking forward to your future work

Your explanation has by far been the best keep up the good work. Using your thorough explanation I was able to understand what was going on and troubleshoot my own issue.

Thank you Wes!! I really appreciate all your content!

YES! I got this one to work... I spent ~4hrs trying find a method to locate and then install "anaconda-prompt", until AI finally told me you just use Terminal on Mac 🙄 They I spent another 30 minutes trying to successfully add my API key. Again AI finally told me to use "export" instead of "set" and that worked. If anything, I would think "import" but it's working now. Cheers Wes... Looking forward to learning more, in particular how this can be used to help with my workflows. I'm a UX researcher... may AI agent swarm gathering info and loading the findings into a spreadsheet. *hint hint* 😉

Dude, I don't know why the first 10 minutes of this video wasn't in my life 6 months ago LOL ...Good work my friend! Rarely you get somebody that wants to reach back in time a little bit and catch people up if they're not doing this 24/7 like we are.

Thank you for walking through the installation. I know it’s simple but very helpful in making these tools more accessible

Finally things are getting interesting in this scope. 👍 Great video.

Hi Wes. I absolutely loved your video! Being a teacher myself, I was really impressed by how clearly you explained everything. Right now, I'm diving into the world of AI, and I'm totally fascinated by the concept of agent swarms. I'm actually working on a project to develop a curriculum builder that uses AI to lighten the load for teachers everywhere. It would be incredible if you could think about discussing the idea of building an agent swarm to support educators on your channel. I'd be thrilled to team up and work on this exciting project together! (and yes..I did use GPT to script this lol)

Good video. Always like the small bits of humour you tuck into the content.

We love you Wesley ! Best AI content on the tube thank you man

Phenomenal tutorial, thank you my friend 🙏🏽

this is beyond incredible. wtfffff! thanks a lot for the quick how-to. keep them coming! greetings from buenos aires!

This looks so cool!

Thank you, Wes. Splendid work.

Great Job WES ! I love your videos :D

best tutorial on installing and running autogen, excellent

Wes thank you for another great video!

Thanks Wes ! You are awesome ❤️

Great vid!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm for learning. I'd like to learn more about AutoGen Agents via your tutorials.

ive said it before and ill say it again , so very grateful that you are here with us Wes =] ; stay awesome dood

This video was super helpful!

Not sure if I am ready for that step.... but now I am thinking about it. THANKS!!!

great video! thx for your explanations and walk through.

Simply incredible!

Great content!!!

Super helpful. Many thanks

As a software developer, this excites and scares me in equal proportions, it seems in not much time, anyone will be able to sit down with these models and create their own software... now. that was the thought on no code, wix, and other technologies and we are still here. I am also starting on AI and currently working on an AI training project, not sure if I'm killing my own future, lol, anyhow, this looks awesome, thanks for sharing.

Great video!!

this the most complete tutorial about autogen studio thanks mate ..

Wes explains everything so well.

best explanation by far. thanks

Brilliant... Cheers! 🏆

That was cool!

i love that you are so beginner friendly

Open source is our biggest hope

Dang man your really doing good homework as much you are as new it all still is hope it pays off for ya definitely deserve it.

Need entire series on this...! thanks

great video thx

thank you man!

Hey there. Following all your videos. here are few ideas I'd like You to consider making videos on: 1. Autogen vs Chatdev Vs CrewAI; 2. Autogen Autobuild; 3. Obviously the advanced utrorial for Autogen,; 4. Taking Autogen further - into production, without constrains of VSCode, Conda etc... how should it look for totally non tech dudes - let's say Business owners, , who don't need to build swarms of agents but who'd rather use those swarms for their businesses... . It's not for me :), I am builder . Just wondering what your opinion on the topic of how the UI should look like for non technical people

Thank you for your tutorial! I was struggling adding the API key on windows.

For anyone wondering, no, code execution does not seem to work with the Mistral/Mixtral models. The system prompts that Autogen creates are a bit too complicated for these local models to be useful. I’d say wait a few months for some better local models to be released and then try it again.

Swanky. Thanks Wes.

awesome!!!

Working on it!

Great clip

Super useful the costs part

Nice 👍 Ty

Dude, you rock. I'm a little more confident using python thanks to your explanation. Subbed like a MoFo.

Very cool

Thank you

That's a follow. My man you content bangs

Brilliant

very useful

I always use --name 'cos I'm not cool 😢 haha. Great video, thank you! Loved the way you explained Conda, I think that mental model will help new people.

Finally a good tutorial on AG studio! Next suggested content: how to integrate AGS in a frontend able to manage input/output like text and files (pdf, images). For example: external frontend > input (text) >> Autogen Studio flow >>> external frontend >>>> output (downloadable pdf with text and images inside). #AutoGenStudioChallenge

I would be very interested in seeing how to determine the workflow between more than 2 agents. Even if it is without the studio ui

Extremely interested in having skills covered over time as it progresses.

Think that would be really useful.

Wes, you should DEFINITELY create your own AutoGen Builder. No joke. Just promise to share it with us before you sell it!

Create a SWE (think Devin) - Love to see a work flow to create a REST API. The user is a software architect which supplies design documents like swaggers, sequence diagrams and component diagrams. This gets handed off to AutoGen with a Manager which has a Developer, Code Reviewer, Unit test developer, QA engineer which runs code and develops regression tests. All with feed back loops to optimize the code and fix bugs.

Hey Wes. Great video. Can you tell me how a person would use this in everyday real world situations? I love it and I’d like to implement it into my workflow. Thanks!!

Looks like fun.

Thanks Wes Roth for the great videos! Somebody was claiming that the new Mamba AI architecture would replace Transformer architecture. Could you create a video on this topic and give us your thoughts? Thanks..

Thanks for the video Wes. It works on Mac and on Windos 11 with Conda and Python 3.10 (does not work with Conda and Python 3.11 for me). Also installing the autogenstudio only is fine.

9:32 - correction: a locally opened port is accessible from your local network, not just from your computer. for example you could run this on your own pc on port 8081 and then everyone connected to your local LAN or WIFI will also be able to access it. it is however not accessible from outside your local network, unless you explicitly configure port forwarding in your local router.

yessss

thanks yo

Hi Wes, im a big fan and highly appreciate your hard work and knowledge...I have a proposal though, would you consider having gpt which you'd instruction it as you do on your videos, and share the link of the gpt? on your videos description. I found this quite useful, as sometimes i train a bot on your youtube transcript in order to get better output using your knowledge as an expert :) Cheers

Wow didn't know it was this easy to make AI.

I myself am deep diving into Autogenstudio. I am actually using multiple GPT's just to prepare my description of Agent's behaviors ect..I do not shy to run my idea through multiple GPT's to finally end up with AG GPT. Monkey's before they walked went from branch to branch 😊 same here GPT's to GPT's.😊

Can you create a video to show how you would create a skill from scratch. Great content and you make is super simple to understand I would also like to see a video on an end to end process including how to use docker. I guess more advanced use cases and how to build great user stories

Depending on its future competency, I may have to talk to you about this.

hey Wes, cool video! I was wondering how do you save your agents & workflows? everytime I start the UI instance all my work is gone.

"You Pass the Butter" 😁

I think, skill are things that they di, because you develop the function that it does it. And he select that skill when needed

You should absolutely create the skill creator GPT for autogen studio. Been my biggest hiccup, and i know I’m not the only one.

I would like to see a live example : From start to stop of an agent, incorporation of Dalle 3, downloading images to a floor, and putting its name in EXcel etec and maintaing database

Skills in a work environment. Create documents, create small applications, anything that can help improve work flow creation for normal office workers managing people, vehicles, resources etc

Is it possible to use this software to create an Ebay listing agent that can use images to look up items and then interface with Ebay to complete listings ?

Could a social media platform be navigated with AutoGen? Or is there a way to setup a teach mode per say or visual recording / analysis of actions performed?

So basically DEI does work 😂😂 Looking forward to playing with autogen thanks for the video homie

How did you get autogen to save directly to the desktop outside of the terminal?

I have three questions. 1) How much would this cost if you were going to write a novel for example? 2) Are there any bat. files made anywhere that can do all of this for you other than downloading python and anaconda? 3) Who else out there is frustrated with how insanely censored Chat GPT is? Thank you again for you very informative and easy to follow videos.

btw i just spent 4 hours (lie, it was 5 i think) that create a python "skill" to dl images from the web based on a topic, and preps them (scale to a consistent size, check if webp format is smaller and if so, keeps that one and deletes the original image), to then use for SDXL LoRA training... should've just let my local coding gpt do that

Hallucination checking agent in the mix - does that help reliability?

just create a skill to create agents for you that create and test skills and agents - and makes adjustments to them - as required 🤔
