## Decision facts: anything-llm

- **Adopt for:** Self-hosted AI agent experience with robust deployment scripts across multiple environments.

## Choose when

### Choose FinSight-AI if…

- FinSight-AI is primarily Java; anything-llm is JavaScript.
- Tags unique to FinSight-AI: postgresql, financial-research, rag, redis.
- Also covers Vector Databases, LLM Frameworks.

### Choose anything-llm if…

- anything-llm is primarily JavaScript; FinSight-AI is Java.
- Tags unique to anything-llm: no-code, llm, agentic-ai, agent-computer.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- When you need flexibility in deploying your AI agents on various cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, Digital Ocean, and more.

## When NOT to use FinSight-AI

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.

## 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.
