Group chat collaboration lets multiple agents participate in one shared conversation, preserving earlier messages so they can review, critique, and improve work together. section 4.3
Unlike sequential or nested conversations, a group chat keeps agents in a common messaging channel. A chat manager coordinates responses and reduces overlap. section 4.3
A practical AutoGen setup uses:
- A user proxy, engineer, and critic as participating agents. section 4.3
- A GroupChat object containing the agents, shared messages, and a maximum round count. section 4.3
- A GroupChatManager that coordinates responses while the agents address the task and critique. section 4.3
Collaborative coding task
Give the group the task “Write a snake game using Pygame.” The engineer develops the solution, the critic provides feedback, and the engineer addresses the suggestions while the proxy remains involved. section 4.3
