Validate activity before betting a new project on nomic. - Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate. - Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. ## When NOT to use Agent-Reach - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. - 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. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between nomic and Agent-Reach? nomic: Nomic Developer API SDK.
