## Choose when

### Choose openagent if…

- openagent is primarily Python; AionUi is TypeScript.
- License: openagent is MIT, AionUi is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to openagent: agent, celery, deepagents, deepresearch.
- Also covers Data & Retrieval, Vector Databases.
- Need integration of OpenAI and Dify functionalities.

### Choose AionUi if…

- AionUi is primarily TypeScript; openagent is Python.
- License: AionUi is Apache-2.0, openagent is MIT.
- Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; AionUi supports macOS 10.15 or higher, Windows 10 or higher, and Linux distributions such as Ubuntu 18.04+, Debian 10+, or Fedora 32+..
