## Decision facts: langflow

- **Adopt for:** Langflow specializes in creating and deploying AI agents and complex workflows through a versatile GUI-based approach.

## Choose when

### Choose langflow if…

- langflow is primarily Python; incognide is TypeScript.
- Tags unique to langflow: chatgpt, generative-ai, large-language-models, multiagent.
- - When you need an intuitive graphical interface to manage the creation of AI agents and workflows without deep coding knowledge.

### Choose incognide if…

- incognide is primarily TypeScript; langflow is Python.
- Tags unique to incognide: ai, ai-agents, artificial-intelligence, ide.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.

## When NOT to use langflow

- - For developers preferring a code-first approach who find GUI interfaces restrictive for customization and workflow.
- - When the project does not align with or leverage the specific topics of focus such as ChatGPT, multi-agent systems, or requires integration with platforms that Langflow's graphical interface cannot旖

## When NOT to use incognide

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
