Build LLM-based multi-agent systems with patterns like GroupChat. Microsoft's original AutoGen repo is now in maintenance mode and community-managed; Microsoft names its own Agent Framework as the enterprise-ready successor for new projects, with AG2 available separately as an independently-maintained community fork.
Scan chatbots and AI agents for hallucinations, prompt injection, and data leaks, then turn findings into ongoing automated red-teaming tests. Giskard Guards adds real-time guardrails.

AutoGen and Giskard both sit in Developer Tools, but they're built around different use cases within it. AutoGen runs on a fully free plan while Giskard runs on a freemium model, which alone may settle it if budget or a free tier is a hard requirement.
Choose AutoGen if…
Best for developers building multi-agent systems that need iterative back-and-forth reasoning between agents, and its edge is the human proxy pattern makes it straightforward to build supervised, not fully autonomous, multi-agent workflows. Strong for complex research and coding tasks, now in maintenance mode, check whether the AG2 fork better fits new projects. Lean toward Giskard instead if automatically generates adversarial test cases specific to your model's actual use case, not generic red-teaming matters more for your use case.
Choose Giskard if…
Best for teams that need to catch bias, vulnerabilities, and quality issues in an LLM application before it ships, and its edge is automatically generates adversarial test cases specific to your model's actual use case, not generic red-teaming. A strong, open-source safety-testing layer, real evaluation expertise helps you get the most out of it. Lean toward AutoGen instead if the human proxy pattern makes it straightforward to build supervised, not fully autonomous, multi-agent workflows matters more for your use case.
