<!--
Key features of AutoGen include:

- Asynchronous messaging: Agents communicate with each other through asynchronous messages, enabling event-driven and request/response communication models.
- Scalable & Distributed: Enable complex scenarios with networks of agents across org boundaries
- Modular, extensible & highly customizable: E.g. custom agents, memory as a service, tools registry, model library
- x-lang support: Python & Dotnet interoperating agents today, others coming soon
- Observable, traceable & debuggable -->
