Is Microsoft Agent Framework the successor to AutoGen?

Microsoft provides migration guides from AutoGen and Semantic Kernel and positions Agent Framework as its consolidated framework for agents and multi-agent workflows. Review the current migration guide for the exact API path.

Does Microsoft Agent Framework provide a collaboration UI?

It provides framework and workflow primitives, events, checkpoints, and hosting patterns. Teams build or integrate the end-user and reviewer experience around those primitives.

Can Raltic replace Agent Framework?

No. Use Agent Framework to build a custom agent application. Use Raltic when you need a finished shared room for existing runtime agents, people, tasks, evidence, and review.

Raltic vs Microsoft Agent Framework

Raltic vs Microsoft Agent Framework.

Microsoft Agent Framework is a code-first framework for building and operating agents and multi-agent workflows in Python and .NET, with a newer Go surface. It combines agent abstractions, graph or functional workflows, checkpoints, orchestration patterns, events, and human input. Raltic is the application a team uses around agent work, not the framework used to create that application.

Choose by the job, not the category label.

Choose Microsoft Agent Framework when

You are building a custom production agent application in the Microsoft ecosystem or need aligned Python and .NET APIs.
Typed graph or functional workflows, checkpoints, provider adapters, middleware, HITL, and built-in orchestration patterns are central requirements.
Your team is migrating AutoGen or Semantic Kernel work and wants Microsoft's current consolidated framework path.

Different center of gravity.

Agent Framework defines the agent and workflow execution model. A product team still owns hosting, authentication, reviewer UI, business permissions, tasks, notifications, and the durable user-facing record.

Tool approval and request-response patterns can pause execution. The application must route the request to an authorized person, present enough context, and decide what an approval permits.

Workflow events and checkpoints make technical execution inspectable and resumable. Raltic focuses on the additional layer where humans discuss evidence, assign work, and record the accepted outcome.

When Microsoft Agent Framework is the better choice.

Raltic is not for everything. Pick Microsoft Agent Framework when:

You are building a custom production agent application in the Microsoft ecosystem or need aligned Python and .NET APIs.

Typed graph or functional workflows, checkpoints, provider adapters, middleware, HITL, and built-in orchestration patterns are central requirements.

Your team is migrating AutoGen or Semantic Kernel work and wants Microsoft's current consolidated framework path.
