| 84 | + |
| 85 | +### **3. Agent Framework Analysis** |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +#### **AutoGPT Architecture** |
| 88 | +```python |
| 89 | +# Task Planning → Execution → Memory → Feedback Loop |
| 90 | +class AutoGPTAgent: |
| 91 | + def __init__(self): |
| 92 | + self.planner = TaskPlanner() |
| 93 | + self.executor = ActionExecutor() |
| 94 | + self.memory = VectorMemory() |
| 95 | + self.feedback = FeedbackLoop() |
| 96 | +``` |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +#### **Microsoft AutoGen** |
| 99 | +```python |
| 100 | +# Multi-agent conversation framework |
| 101 | +agents = [ |
| 102 | + UserProxyAgent("user"), |
| 103 | + AssistantAgent("assistant", llm_config=config), |
| 104 | + AssistantAgent("critic", system_message="Review and critique") |
| 105 | +] |
| 106 | +``` |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +#### **CrewAI Framework** |
| 109 | +```python |
| 110 | +# Role-based agent collaboration |
| 111 | +crew = Crew( |
| 112 | + agents=[researcher, writer, editor], |
| 113 | + tasks=[research_task, write_task, edit_task], |
| 114 | + verbose=True |
