While GenAI_Agents provides tutorials, its core value lies in hands-on code implementations. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between agent-protocol and GenAI_Agents? agent-protocol: Common interface for AI agents. GenAI_Agents: 50+ tutorials and implementations for Generative AI Agent techniques. See the comparison table for live GitHub stats and shared categories. ### When should I choose agent-protocol over GenAI_Agents?
