## 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 autogen if…

- autogen is primarily Python; ai-reliability-copilot is TypeScript.
- 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: llm-framework, autogen, agents, ai.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- You need a framework that supports integration with multiple AI models via OpenAI's chat completion client.

### Choose ai-reliability-copilot if…

- ai-reliability-copilot is primarily TypeScript; autogen is Python.
- Tags unique to ai-reliability-copilot: incident-response, ai-sdk, deepseek, llm.
- Also covers Vector Databases, Developer Tools.
- ai-reliability-copilot ships an MCP server manifest.

## 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.

## When NOT to use ai-reliability-copilot

- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
