## Choose when

### Choose autogen if…

- autogen is primarily Python; awesome-nano-banana-pro-prompts is TypeScript.
- License: autogen is CC-BY-4.0, awesome-nano-banana-pro-prompts is Other.
- Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; AutoGen requires Python 3.10 or later.; Ensure security when connecting to MCP servers due to the potential for local command execution and sensitive information exposure..
- Tags unique to autogen: llm-framework, autogen, agents, ai.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- You need a framework that supports integration with multiple AI models via OpenAI's chat completion client.

### Choose awesome-nano-banana-pro-prompts if…

- awesome-nano-banana-pro-prompts is primarily TypeScript; autogen is Python.
