AutoGen (autogen-core, autogen-ext[grpc], autogen-agentchat) support on Android

[MrCsabaToth]

I wonder how hard would it be to write an app which uses these packages (autogen-core, autogen-ext[grpc], autogen-agentchat) for an Android app? I didn't map out all the non pure packages in the dependencies (how to do that BTW?).

In order for the AI agent messaging to work one needs to start a so called "runtime", essentially a messaging bus (which under the hood uses gRPC) for the messages to be delivered - among some tasks. See here Running the Single-Threaded Agent Runtime

Even though the title says single threaded agent, technically this still means a background process.

runtime.start()  # Start processing messages in the background.
await runtime.send_message(MyMessageType("Hello, World!"), AgentId("my_agent", "default"))
await runtime.send_message(MyMessageType("Hello, World!"), AgentId("my_assistant", "default"))
await runtime.stop()  # Stop processing messages in the background.

Would BeeWare support such scenario?

BeeWare's Android support is mostly handled by Chaquopy, so let's continue the discussion in chaquo/chaquopy#1390.
