Exogram vs Microsoft AutoGen

Conversational agents. Conversational risk.

What Microsoft AutoGen Does

  • AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and execute tasks.
  • Supports human-in-the-loop patterns — but they're optional and add significant latency.
  • Agents can agree on destructive actions during conversation without any validation.
  • Conversational coordination doesn't prevent bad decisions from executing.

What Exogram Does

  • Exogram enforces boundaries on every action that emerges from AutoGen's conversational loops.
  • Agents can discuss, negotiate, and agree — but the execution boundary validates the final action.
  • Human-in-the-loop adds latency (seconds to minutes). Exogram adds 0.07ms. One is optional. The other is always-on.
  • Works with AutoGen's tool use patterns. Same 2-line integration as any framework.

The Verdict

Use AutoGen for conversational multi-agent flows. Use Exogram because agents negotiating doesn't make their actions safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't human-in-the-loop enough?

Human-in-the-loop is optional, adds latency, and doesn't scale. Exogram is always-on, adds 0.07ms, and evaluates every action automatically. Governance should be infrastructure, not a UX pattern.
