autogenstudio

library0.4.2.2pypypi✓ verified 26d ago

Microsoft's no-code/low-code web UI for prototyping AutoGen multi-agent workflows. Built on FastAPI (backend) and Gatsby/React (frontend). Stores agent configs, sessions, and workflows in a local SQLite or PostgreSQL database. Explicitly NOT production-ready — intended for rapid prototyping only.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

CLI launch

✓ autogenstudio ui --port 8080 --appdir ./myapp

✗ autogenstudio --port 8080

The 'ui' subcommand is required. Running autogenstudio alone without a subcommand does nothing useful.

Install and launch AutoGen Studio UI

pip install -U autogenstudio autogenstudio ui --port 8080 --appdir ./myapp # Open http://localhost:8080 in your browser # Set OPENAI_API_KEY in .env file inside --appdir directory

autogenstudio --version

Known issues

breakingMicrosoft has announced AutoGen is now in maintenance-only mode (critical bug fixes and security patches only — no new features). New feature development has moved to Microsoft Agent Framework. Existing AutoGen/AutoGen Studio code continues to work but the project will not receive new capabilities.

fix

For new projects, evaluate Microsoft Agent Framework (https://aka.ms/autogen-to-af). Existing AutoGen Studio deployments remain functional.

affects: all

breakingAutoGen Studio is explicitly NOT production-ready per official documentation. Breaking changes are expected between releases with no migration guarantees.

fix

Use AutoGen Studio for prototyping only. For production, use autogen-agentchat programmatically or Microsoft Agent Framework.

affects: all

breakingUpgrading AutoGen Studio between versions can corrupt the local SQLite database. Known SQLite ALTER COLUMN errors occur when schema migrations run on existing databases (SQLite does not support column type changes natively).

fix

Before upgrading, back up ~/.autogenstudio/database.sqlite. If migration fails, delete the database file and restart: rm ~/.autogenstudio/database.sqlite && autogenstudio ui --upgrade-database

affects: all

breakingAutoGen Studio requires OPENAI_API_KEY to be set in a .env file inside the --appdir directory, NOT as a system environment variable. Setting it in the shell environment alone does not work.

fix

Create a .env file in the appdir: echo 'OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...' > ./myapp/.env

affects: all

gotchaAutoGen Studio stores all data (agents, workflows, sessions) in ~/.autogenstudio by default. If --appdir is not specified on every launch, data from different invocations may end up in different locations.

fix

Always pass --appdir explicitly: autogenstudio ui --appdir /path/to/consistent/dir

affects: all

gotchaBuilding from source requires git-lfs. Cloning the repo without git-lfs installed will cause build errors on the frontend due to missing image/asset files.

fix

Install git-lfs before cloning: brew install git-lfs (macOS) or apt-get install git-lfs (Ubuntu). Run git lfs install && git lfs fetch --all after cloning.

affects: all

gotchaAutoGen Studio (autogenstudio) is a completely separate package from autogen-agentchat and must be installed independently. It is not included in any autogen-agentchat or autogen-ext install.

fix

pip install autogenstudio separately. Do not assume it is bundled with other AutoGen packages.

affects: all

breaking`pip install` is a shell command and cannot be executed directly within a Python script, leading to `SyntaxError: invalid syntax`. It must be run from a shell or through a subprocess call in Python.

fix

Run `pip install -U autogenstudio` directly in your terminal or shell. If you need to install packages programmatically from within a Python script, use `import subprocess; subprocess.check_call(['pip', 'install', '-U', 'autogenstudio'])`.

affects: all

breakingInstalling Python packages that require C extensions (e.g., numpy, scipy) often fails in minimal Linux environments (like Alpine) due to missing C compilers and build-essential tools. The `pip` installation process attempts to compile native code, which requires tools like `gcc` or `clang`.

fix

Ensure C compilers and development headers are installed in your environment. For Alpine Linux, add `build-base` and `python3-dev`: `apk add build-base python3-dev`. For Debian/Ubuntu, install `build-essential` and `python3-dev`: `apt-get update && apt-get install -y build-essential python3-dev`.
