## Choose when

### Choose composio if…

- composio is primarily TypeScript; parlant is Python.
- License: composio is MIT, parlant is Apache-2.0.
- Composio also builds AI agents that turn intent into action, offering an alternative to Parlant's approach for controlled and consistent LLM interactions.
- Tags unique to composio: llmops, remote-mcp-server, agents, agentic-ai.
- composio ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you need a robust framework that supports the development and deployment of AI agents in both TypeScript and Python environments.

### Choose parlant if…

- parlant is primarily Python; composio is TypeScript.
- License: parlant is Apache-2.0, composio is MIT.
- Pricing: Free and open-source under the Apache-2.0 License, potentially involving self-hosting and customization efforts but no direct monetary costs..
- Composio also builds AI agents that turn intent into action, offering an alternative to Parlant's approach for controlled and consistent LLM interactions.
- Tags unique to parlant: customer-service, ai-alignment, genai, gemini.
- When developing enterprise-grade B2C or sensitive B2B interactions that require consistency, compliance, on-brand messaging, and traceability.

## When NOT to use composio

- If your project requires extensive customization that exceeds the predefined capabilities of Composio's existing framework and integrated tools.
- When working within a strictly non-TypeScript or non-Python environment, since Composio focuses on providing seamless integration with these specific languages.
- For teams lacking proficiency in TypeScript and Python, as leveraging all features of Composio might require intermediate to advanced coding skills in these languages.
- If your focus is purely on lower-level machine learning model training; Composio SDK's primary utility lies at a higher level专注于工具包管理和代理开发，而不是基础模型训练。

## When NOT to use parlant

- For projects where real-time context management isn't a critical requirement since Parlant focuses heavily on context engineering.
- In environments where the complexity of conversational context control can be managed with simpler solutions, such as standalone system prompts without needing extensive routing or dynamic context.
