## Decision facts: AgentGPT

- **Adopt for:** AgentGPT is a TypeScript-based tool that supports users in assembling and deploying autonomous AI agents with a streamlined setup via a CLI, suitable for those who prefer browser-based interactions with their AI projects

## Choose when

### Choose goptuna if…

- goptuna is primarily Go; AgentGPT is TypeScript.
- License: goptuna is MIT, AgentGPT is GPL-3.0.
- Tags unique to goptuna: bandit-algorithms, bayesian-optimization, blackbox-optimization, evolution-strategies.

### Choose AgentGPT if…

- AgentGPT is primarily TypeScript; goptuna is Go.
- License: AgentGPT is GPL-3.0, goptuna is MIT.
- Tags unique to AgentGPT: agent, autonomous, backend-development, cli-setup.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- AgentGPT ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you want to leverage pre-configured setups for database integration (specifically MySQL) handled by AgentGPT's CLI

## When NOT to use goptuna

- Last GitHub push was 333 days ago (slowing maintenance, Aug 12, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on goptuna.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.

## When NOT to use AgentGPT

- Avoid using if your project requires a NoSQL database solution, given that AgentGPT is configured specifically with MySQL out-of-the-box
- Consider alternatives if your stack does not include FastAPI or Next.js, as the tool's default configurations might require significant adjustment
