For simpler codebases, its advanced features may be overkill. - If your development environment does not support TypeScript or if you are exclusively working with Codex CLI and prefer a less integrated solution, opting for another tool could be more suitable since ## When NOT to use agent-kit - Last GitHub push was 121 days ago (slowing maintenance, Mar 13, 2026). Validate activity before betting a new project on agent-kit. - 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. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between oh-my-openagent and agent-kit? oh-my-openagent: A coding agent for complex codebases, supporting multiple AI agents like ChatGPT and Claude.. agent-kit: Give Claude/Cursor email powers. 27 MCP tools — inbox, send, reply, contacts, search.
