## Choose when

### Choose lingoose if…

- lingoose is primarily Go; Agent-Reach is Python.
- Tags unique to lingoose: go, embeddings, llm, ai.
- Also covers Data & Retrieval, Vector Databases.

### Choose Agent-Reach if…

- Agent-Reach is primarily Python; lingoose is Go.
- Tags unique to Agent-Reach: agent-infrastructure, ai-search, bilibili, claude-code.
- Also covers AI Agents, Developer Tools.

## When NOT to use lingoose

- Last GitHub push was 118 days ago (slowing maintenance, Mar 15, 2026). Validate activity before betting a new project on lingoose.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough.
- 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 Agent-Reach

- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
