## Choose when

### Choose kedro if…

- License: kedro is Apache-2.0, Agent-Reach is MIT.
- Tags unique to kedro: agentic-ai, agentic-workflow, data pipelines, hacktoberfest.
- Also covers Data & Retrieval.

### Choose Agent-Reach if…

- License: Agent-Reach is MIT, kedro is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to Agent-Reach: agent-infrastructure, ai-agent, ai-search, automation.
- Also covers Developer Tools, LLM Frameworks.

## When NOT to use kedro

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough.

## 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.
