The repository contains links to alpha-stage projects like Chidori, which may not be suitable for immediate deployment. ## When NOT to use orloj - If your multi-agent system does not benefit from the YAML-based orchestration model or if you require a non-Go runtime environment. - When governance functionalities for your AI systems are less critical as Orloj's governance capabilities might be overkill for simpler applications. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between awesome-ai-sdks and orloj? awesome-ai-sdks: A database of SDKs for AI agents creation and management. orloj: An orchestration runtime for multi-agent AI systems..
