When NOT to use agentos
- Preferring frameworks without multi-agent orchestration support
- Prioritizing environments with less than eleven LLM provider options
Choose agent-kit if…
- agent-kit is primarily JavaScript; agentos is TypeScript.
- Tags unique to agent-kit: agent, ai-agent, claude, email.
- If you are working on an AI project that requires interaction with email services and other communication methods, such as SMS, using Claude or Cursor.
When NOT to use agent-kit
- If your project language does not align with JavaScript, considering that Agent-kit specifically requires JavaScript for its implementation.
- For scenarios where strict tool licensing and version control are critical since the license information for this library is unknown.
