In this tutorial, we walk you through the seamless integration of AutoGen and Semantic Kernel with Google’s Gemini Flash model. We begin by setting up our GeminiWrapper and SemanticKernelGeminiPlugin classes to bridge the generative power of Gemini with AutoGen’s multi-agent orchestration. From there, we configure specialist agents, ranging from code reviewers to creative analysts, demonstrating how we can leverage AutoGen’s ConversableAgent API alongside Semantic Kernel’s decorated functions for text analysis, summarization, code review, and creative problem-solving. By combining AutoGen’s robust agent framework with Semantic Kernel’s function-driven approach, we create an advanced AI assistant that adapts to a variety of tasks with structured, actionable insights.

Then we import essential Python modules (os, asyncio, typing) along with autogen for agent orchestration, genai for Gemini API access, and the Semantic Kernel classes and decorators to define our AI functions.

Then we build a config_list containing the Gemini Flash model settings, model name, API key, endpoint type, and base URL, which we’ll hand off to our agents for LLM interactions.

In this method, we pass the prompt and temperature into Gemini’s generate_content API (capped at 2048 tokens) and return the raw text or a formatted error.

Using the @kernel_function decorator, we declare methods like analyze_text, generate_summary, code_analysis, and creative_solution, each of which constructs a structured prompt and delegates the heavy lifting to Gemini Flash. This plugin lets us seamlessly register and invoke advanced AI operations within our Semantic Kernel environment.

In conclusion, we showcased how AutoGen and Semantic Kernel complement each other to produce a versatile, multi-agent AI system powered by Gemini Flash. We highlighted how AutoGen simplifies the orchestration of diverse expert agents, while Semantic Kernel provides a clean, declarative layer for defining and invoking advanced AI functions. By uniting these tools in a Colab notebook, we’ve enabled rapid experimentation and prototyping of complex AI workflows without sacrificing clarity or control.
