## Choose when

### Choose Applio if…

- Tags unique to Applio: ai, applio, pytorch, rvc.
- Also covers Model Training, Speech & Audio.
- Applio ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.

### Choose Agent-Reach if…

- Tags unique to Agent-Reach: agent-infrastructure, ai-agent, ai-search, automation.
- Also covers AI Agents, LLM Frameworks.
- More GitHub stars (55k vs 3.5k) - visibility, not fit.

## When NOT to use Applio

- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.

## When NOT to use Agent-Reach

- 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.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
