About GitHub

UFO is an open-source multi-device agent orchestration framework developed by Microsoft. It enables the coordination of intelligent agents across heterogeneous platforms through dynamic DAG-based task decomposition and execution. The project includes UFO³ Galaxy for cross-device workflows and UFO² Desktop AgentOS for single Windows device automation. UFO is designed to handle complex multi-step automation with asynchronous execution, adaptive workflow evolution, and secure agent communication via the Unified AIP protocol.
