## Choose when

### Choose fireagent if…

- fireagent is primarily Python; agentic-rag-for-dummies is Jupyter Notebook.
- Tags unique to fireagent: evidence-retrieval, knowledge-enhancement, multimodal-agent, open-set-guardrails.
- When you need a prototype tool with knowledge-enhanced abilities for analyzing fire safety using multimodal inputs

### Choose agentic-rag-for-dummies if…

- agentic-rag-for-dummies is primarily Jupyter Notebook; fireagent is Python.
- Tags unique to agentic-rag-for-dummies: agent, agentic-ai, bm25, gradio.
- Also covers Data & Retrieval.
- When aiming to quickly develop a retrieval-augmented generation agent, thanks to its streamlined setup with LangGraph.

## When NOT to use fireagent

- If relying solely on AI without professional inspection, domain validation or compliance review for real-world deployment
- When competing tools offer more robust open-set guardrails that better fit your specific use case needs

## When NOT to use agentic-rag-for-dummies

- If smaller language model sizes are required as they might ignore retrieval instructions or hallucinate details.
- Projects sensitive about Docker and system requirements must carefully review the outlined conditions for deployment.
