Multi-Agent AI for Dynamic Short-Form Video Generation

Design and implement a multi-agent system using AutoGen that simulates a creative studio for generating short-form video content (e.g., YouTube Shorts). Inspired by YouTube's vision for AI-generated media, this system will coordinate specialized agents like a 'Scriptwriter Agent,' 'Visuals Generator Agent,' and 'Editor Agent' to autonomously conceptualize, script, and outline visual elements for a short video based on a user's prompt. The challenge emphasizes complex multi-agent conversations, conditional workflows, and the integration of diverse AI models for different generation tasks, with human-in-the-loop validation at critical stages. This system should be capable of producing a detailed production plan and asset descriptions, even if it doesn't render the final video.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluation will assess the generated production plan's completeness, creativity, adherence to the prompt, and feasibility of proposed visual assets.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
7 scoring checks
Binary
7 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

PlanCompleteness

All required components of the production plan (title, logline, script scenes, asset list) are present.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

PromptAdherence

Generated plan aligns with the user's initial prompt and constraints (audience, length, theme).

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 3

AgentCommunicationFlow

Agents engage in a logical and coherent conversation to reach the content generation goal.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 4

HumanFeedbackIntegration

Human feedback is correctly processed and results in appropriate, relevant plan revisions.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 5

Creativity_Score

Subjective score for the originality and entertainment value of the generated plan (1-5, 5 being highly creative). • target: 4 • range: 1-5

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 6

VisualFeasibility_Score

How realistic and detailed the visual descriptions are for actual video production (1-5, 5 being highly feasible). • target: 4 • range: 1-5

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 7

Iteration_Efficiency

Number of turns required for agents to effectively address human feedback (fewer is better, target around 2-3 turns). • target: 2 • range: 1-5

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Master AutoGen's ConversableAgent and UserProxyAgent to create complex multi-agent conversations.

  • Implement advanced agent roles using Claude Opus 4.1 for creative conceptualization and script generation.

  • Leverage OpenAI o3 for specialized tasks such as generating visual asset descriptions or catchy titles.

  • Design and integrate custom tools for agents to simulate external media generation services.

  • Implement dynamic workflow branching in AutoGen based on agent outputs or human feedback.

  • Explore how DeepSpeed can optimize fine-tuned models for specific content generation sub-tasks within the agent workflow.
