## Choose when

### Choose agent-orchestrator if…

- agent-orchestrator is primarily Go; agno is Python.
- Tags unique to agent-orchestrator: agent-fleet, agent-swarm, claude-code, codex-cli.
- You are working on large-scale projects with multiple parallel tasks that require efficient CI fixes, merge conflict resolution and code reviews.

### Choose agno if…

- agno is primarily Python; agent-orchestrator is Go.
- Tags unique to agno: agents, ai-agents, developer-tools, python.
- Use agno for a high level of control over your AI agent platform, including 50+ production API endpoints and support for 100+ integrations. Ideal if you need to customize data ownership and permissions.

## When NOT to use agent-orchestrator

- If your work primarily consists of simple or small projects with light tasks, the overhead of setting up Agent Orchestrator may outweigh its benefits.
- If you prefer traditional workflow tools without reliance on autonomous agent technology for day-to-day operations.

## When NOT to use agno

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
