## Choose when

### Choose AstrBot if…

- AstrBot is primarily Python; ChatGPT-On-CS is TypeScript.
- Tags unique to AstrBot: agent, astrbot, chatbot, discord.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- AstrBot ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you require a highly integrative environment where your AI agents can communicate across different instant messaging platforms like Discord, Telegram, QQ, and others.

### Choose ChatGPT-On-CS if…

- ChatGPT-On-CS is primarily TypeScript; AstrBot is Python.
- Tags unique to ChatGPT-On-CS: autohotkey, automation, bilibili, bot.
- Also covers Vector Databases.

## When NOT to use AstrBot

- If you are looking for proprietary solutions or do not want to comply with the AGPL-3.0 open-source license requirements, as AstrBot might not suit businesses preferring closed development.
- In scenarios where a very streamlined or simple AI agent without extensive plugin and platform customizability is required due to time constraints or a specific project scope that does not need broad,
- +adaptability.

## When NOT to use ChatGPT-On-CS

- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
