Validate activity before betting a new project on ClawGuard. - 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. ## When NOT to use anything-llm - Avoid if you require an agent without additional setup or prefer SaaS solutions over self-managed deployments. - Not suitable for users who are looking for no-code alternatives as setting up AnythingLLM might necessitate some coding knowledge despite offering multiple scripts and methods. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between ClawGuard and anything-llm?
