Microsoft is introducing Magentic-UI, an open-source research prototype designed as a human-centered AI agent. This experimental tool is built to assist users in completing complex, web-based tasks in real time, directly within a web browser. Unlike fully autonomous systems, Magentic-UI emphasizes a transparent and controllable experience. The platform is geared towards tasks that are action-oriented and extend beyond simple web searches, providing a unique approach to human-AI collaboration on the web.

Magentic-UI builds upon Magentic-One and is powered by AutoGen, Microsoft's agent framework. It is available under the MIT license and on Azure AI Foundry Labs, offering developers, startups, and enterprises a space to explore Microsoft Research innovations. The system is integrated with Azure AI Foundry models and agents, with code samples available for those looking to integrate Azure AI agents into Magentic-UI's multi-agent architecture.

Magentic-UI is capable of tasks involving web browsing, Python and shell code execution, and file understanding. Key features include collaborative planning, where users can modify the agent's plan directly through a plan editor or textual feedback. It also supports collaborative execution, allowing users to pause the system, provide natural language feedback, or directly control the browser to guide the AI agent, fostering a seamless blend of human and artificial intelligence.
