## Choose when

### Choose DemoGPT if…

- Tags unique to DemoGPT: agent, ai, autonomous-agents, chatgpt.
- When you need a one-stop solution for creating LLM agents with pre-integrated tools, prompts, frameworks, and models.
- More GitHub stars (1.9k vs 320) - visibility, not fit.

### Choose agentflow if…

- Tags unique to agentflow: json, large language models, workflow-management.
- When you need to rapidly prototype LLM workflows with minimal coding via JSON configs

## When NOT to use DemoGPT

- When seeking highly specialized customization that goes beyond what is provided by integrated toolkits, since DemoGPT offers a comprehensive package which may lock you into its framework.
- If your project critically requires proprietary or private licensing terms, as it's open-source under the MIT license and might not suit projects needing more restrictive or proprietary controls.

## When NOT to use agentflow

- Avoid if requiring advanced customization that goes beyond basic JSON configurations
- Not suitable for scenarios needing real-time dynamic changes in workflow setup during execution
