## Decision facts: autogen

- **Requirements:** Min 4 GB RAM; AutoGen requires Python 3.10 or later.; Ensure security when connecting to MCP servers due to the potential for local command execution and sensitive information exposure.
- **Adopt for:** AutoGen is a Python-based framework for developing and managing agentic AI systems. It includes the AutoGen Studio for no-code GUI setup, integrating with various models.

## Choose when

### Choose chatgpt_system_prompt if…

- chatgpt_system_prompt is primarily HTML; autogen is Python.
- License: chatgpt_system_prompt is MIT, autogen is CC-BY-4.0.
- Tags unique to chatgpt_system_prompt: gpt, html, prompt, prompt-engineering.

### Choose autogen if…

- autogen is primarily Python; chatgpt_system_prompt is HTML.
- License: autogen is CC-BY-4.0, chatgpt_system_prompt is MIT.
- Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; AutoGen requires Python 3.10 or later.; Ensure security when connecting to MCP servers due to the potential for local command execution and sensitive information exposure..
- Tags unique to autogen: agentic-agi, agents, ai, autogen.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- You need a framework that supports integration with multiple AI models via OpenAI's chat completion client.

## When NOT to use chatgpt_system_prompt

- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.

## When NOT to use autogen

- If you require tools supporting multiple programming languages beyond Python, as AutoGen is strictly a Python-based framework.
- When deploying in environments where connecting to external servers (like those used by MCP) could pose security risks or is prohibited.
- You need solutions which do not involve additional installations for server components such as `playwright/mcp`, as AutoGen requires this setup for certain functionalities.
