The motivation - Is it possible to solve multi step tasks?
The short answer is Yes.
While large language models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable capabilities in a variety of applications, such as language generation, understanding, and reasoning, they struggle to provide accurate answers when faced with complicated tasks.
According to this research (More agents is all you need), the performance of large language models (LLMs) scales with the number of agents instantiated. This method is orthogonal to existing complicated methods to further enhance LLMs, while the degree of enhancement is correlated to the task difficulty.
Now that we understand the motivation, and the business value of solving complicated, let's build our dream team.
AutoGen provides a general conversation pattern called group chat, which involves more than two agents. The core idea of group chat is that all agents contribute to a single conversation thread and share the same context. This is useful for tasks that require collaboration among multiple agents.
Priya is the VP engineering of "Great Company", the company leadership would like to build a solution for the legal domain based on LLMs, before writing a single line of code, Priya would like to research what are the available open sources on GitHub:
"What are the 5 leading GitHub repositories on llm for the legal domain?"
Executing it on Google, Bing or another search engine will not provide a structured and accurate result.
Let's Build
We'll build a system of agents using the Autogen library. The agents include a human admin, developer, planner, code executor, and a quality assurance agent. Each agent is configured with a name, a role, and specific behaviors or responsibilities.
Autogen Dream Team
Here's the final output:

The
It first looks for environment variable "OAI_CONFIG_LIST" which needs to be a valid json string. If that variable is not found, it then looks for a json file named "OAI_CONFIG_LIST". It filters the configs by models (you can filter by other keys as well).
You can set the value of config_list in any way you prefer.
Let's build our team, this code is setting up the agents:
Now we can instantiate the GroupChat:
Sometimes it's a bit complicated to understand the relationship between the entities, here we print a graph representation of the code:
Output:
Admin (to chat_manager):
what are the 5 leading GitHub repositories on llm for the legal domain?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Planner (to chat_manager):
To identify the 5 leading GitHub repositories on large language models (LLM) for the legal domain, we will follow a structured plan. Here is the detailed plan:
### Step 1: Define Search Criteria
**Team Member:** Planner
- Define the criteria for what constitutes a "leading" GitHub repository. This could include factors such as the number of stars, forks, recent activity, and relevance to the legal domain.
### Step 2: Conduct Initial Search
**Team Member:** Developer
- Use GitHub's search functionality to find repositories related to LLMs in the legal domain.
- Apply filters based on the criteria defined in Step 1.
### Step 3: Compile and Analyze Data
**Team Member:** Developer
- Compile a list of the top 10 repositories based on the initial search.
- Analyze these repositories to ensure they meet the criteria and are relevant to the legal domain.
### Step 4: Narrow Down to Top 5
**Team Member:** Developer
- Narrow down the list from 10 to the top 5 repositories based on further analysis and comparison.
### Step 5: Verify and Finalize
**Team Member:** Quality Assurance
- Double-check the final list of 5 repositories to ensure they meet all the criteria and are indeed leading repositories in the legal domain.
- Provide a brief description of each repository and why it was selected.
### Final List of 5 Leading GitHub Repositories on LLM for the Legal Domain
1. **Repository Name:** [Link to Repository]
- **Description:** Brief description of the repository and its relevance to the legal domain.
2. **Repository Name:** [Link to Repository]

- **Description:** Brief description of the repository and its relevance to the legal domain.
5. **Repository Name:** [Link to Repository]
- **Description:** Brief description of the repository and its relevance to the legal domain.
This plan will ensure that we identify and verify the top 5 leading GitHub repositories on LLM for the legal domain.

Summary & Next Steps
We have shown how to build a complex multi agent solution, this enhancement ensures that complex multi steps tasks can be solved with Autogen.
Now we can deploy this group to solve various business use cases like customer support, IT, finance and more.
1. Teachability - Teachability uses a vector database to give an agent the ability to remember user teachings, you can read more here.
2. Multimodal Conversable Agent - adding new modalities like image and audio.
3. Multi model - while GPT4 is a powerful model, open-source models like Phi-3 can solve different tasks, thus, implementing a differential routing (agent x-model y; agent z - model w).

Group chat is a powerful conversation pattern, but it can be hard to control if the number of participating agents is large. AutoGen provides a way to constrain the selection of the next speaker by using the allowed_or_disallowed_speaker_transitions argument of the GroupChat class.
allowed_transitions = {
user_proxy: [ planner,quality_assurance],
planner: [ user_proxy, developer, quality_assurance],
developer: [executor,quality_assurance, user_proxy],
executor: [developer],
quality_assurance: [planner,developer,executor,user_proxy],
}Now we can instantiate the GroupChat:
Code:
system_message_manager="You are the manager of a research group your role is to manage the team and make sure the project is completed successfully."
groupchat = GroupChat(
agents=[user_proxy, developer, planner, executor, quality_assurance],allowed_or_disallowed_speaker_transitions=allowed_transitions,
speaker_transitions_type="allowed", messages=[], max_round=30,send_introductions=True
)
manager = GroupChatManager(groupchat=groupchat, llm_config=gpt4_config, system_message=system_message_manager)Sometimes it's a bit complicated to understand the relationship between the entities, here we print a graph representation of the code:
Code:
import networkx as nx
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
G = nx.DiGraph()
# Add nodes
G.add_nodes_from([agent.name for agent in groupchat.agents])
# Add edges
for key, value in allowed_transitions.items():
for agent in value:
G.add_edge(key.name, agent.name)
# Set the figure size
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
# Visualize
pos = nx.spring_layout(G) # For consistent positioning
# Draw nodes and edges
nx.draw_networkx_nodes(G, pos)
nx.draw_networkx_edges(G, pos)
# Draw labels below the nodes
label_pos = {k: [v[0], v[1] - 0.1] for k, v in pos.items()} # Shift labels below the nodes
nx.draw_networkx_labels(G, label_pos, verticalalignment='top', font_color="darkgreen")
# Adding margins
ax = plt.gca()
ax.margins(0.1) # Increase the margin value if needed
# Adding a dynamic title
total_transitions = sum(len(v) for v in allowed_transitions.values())
title = f'Agent Interactions: {len(groupchat.agents)} Agents, {total_transitions} Potential Transitions'
plt.title(title)
