Validate activity before betting a new project on promptsite. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. ## When NOT to use autogen - If you require tools supporting multiple programming languages beyond Python, as AutoGen is strictly a Python-based framework. - When deploying in environments where connecting to external servers (like those used by MCP) could pose security risks or is prohibited. - You need solutions which do not involve additional installations for server components such as `playwright/mcp`, as AutoGen requires this setup for certain functionalities. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between promptsite and autogen? promptsite: PromptSite is a lightweight prompt version management package that helps you version control, track, experiment and debug with your LLM prompts with ease.. autogen: A programming framework for agentic AI.
