## Choose when

### Choose agentic-rag-for-dummies if…

- agentic-rag-for-dummies is primarily Jupyter Notebook; WeaveBench is Python.
- Tags unique to agentic-rag-for-dummies: agent, agentic-ai, bm25, gradio.
- Also covers Data & Retrieval.
- When aiming to quickly develop a retrieval-augmented generation agent, thanks to its streamlined setup with LangGraph.

### Choose WeaveBench if…

- WeaveBench is primarily Python; agentic-rag-for-dummies is Jupyter Notebook.
- Tags unique to WeaveBench: agent-as-judge, benchmark, computer-use-agent, gui-agent.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.
- Use WeaveBench if you need to assess agents capable of handling tasks that require intermingling graphical user interface operations with command-line or code-based actions.

## When NOT to use agentic-rag-for-dummies

- If smaller language model sizes are required as they might ignore retrieval instructions or hallucinate details.
- Projects sensitive about Docker and system requirements must carefully review the outlined conditions for deployment.

## When NOT to use WeaveBench

- Avoid WeaveBench if your testing needs do not involve scenarios that require the integration of both GUI and CLI operations.
- Do not use it when you are specifically interested only in benchmarking agents designed for single-channel tasks, either strictly CLI-based or purely graphical interface-driven.
