Choose hello-agents if…
- hello-agents is primarily Python; wanwu is Go.
- License: hello-agents is Other, wanwu is Apache-2.0.
- Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; Python knowledge assumed.
- Tags unique to hello-agents: llm, rag, tutorial.
- You should use hello-agents if you are interested in practical, step-by-step instructions on building intelligent agents from the ground up.
When NOT to use hello-agents
- Avoid using hello-agents if you are looking for a quick, superficial introduction to AI agents; this tool focuses heavily on in-depth learning and practical application.
- Do not opt for hello-agents if you want a more general AI development resource; unlike some competitors, it has a narrower focus specifically on agent creation with advanced methods like LLMs and RAG.
Choose wanwu if…
- wanwu is primarily Go; hello-agents is Python.
- License: wanwu is Apache-2.0, hello-agents is Other.
- Tags unique to wanwu: agentic-ai, agentic-framework, ai, ai-agent.
- Also covers Vector Databases.
When NOT to use wanwu
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- 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.
