Question about Studio and autogen-core

[igorobed]

Can you please tell me if it's possible to use Studio with my custom agent/multi-agent system built on autogen-core without using the autogen-agentchat wrapper?

Hi @igorobed ,

At the moment, this is not supported.
The important question here is why?

TLDR; Core is a low level API and there are many design decisions that can be very challenging to represent in a GUI.

The key reason why we can build a UI like AGS is because there are clear assumptions on the exact structure of the teams and agents in AgentChat.
For example, we know there is a standard API for an agent, a team, a termination condition etc and we can serialize that quite well and support it in a UI.

You can still create custom agents in AgentChat and use them in studio but they must still adhere to the basic structures in AgentChat (e.g, inherit from a BaseChatAgent in AgentChat and must implement a component config interface). We have an excellent guide on this here - and here .

Now, there is a strong chance that your business logic cannot be represented with the current agentchat abstraction (a good reason to use core). In that case, consider building your own UI.

Can you share more on your use case?
