[Feature Request]: Workflow/Agent Config export

[Mai0313]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Hello, it's me again. I work at Mediatek and am currently trying to build a system using Autogen with the Azure OpenAI service.

I've noticed that there is a function for generating workflows and autobuild agents, as detailed here: Autobuild.

However, I also discovered that there is no feature available to export these workflows as a JSON file. If this feature indeed does not exist, I would like to propose its development.

Describe the solution you'd like

I believe that all group chat platforms should support a feature such as .export.

From my perspective, there should be a shared function across all platforms that supports export or save capabilities.

As for how to implement this, I do not have a solution at the moment, but I will delve into this issue if such a feature does not currently exist.

I just noticed this is feature is not limited to auto build. @victordibia @jackgerrits, @LittleLittleCloud and I have been thinking about multi agent workflow specification and export.

@Mai0313 you can take a look at autogen studio workflow manager:

https://github.com/microsoft/autogen/blob/main/samples/apps/autogen-studio/autogenstudio/workflowmanager.py

For some early thinking along this line.

In parallel, we are discussing how to add resume functionality to group chat from previously exported state: #2359

We can discuss here.
