## Choose when

### Choose AgentGPT if…

- Tags unique to AgentGPT: autonomous, backend-development, cli-setup, database-integration.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- AgentGPT ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you want to leverage pre-configured setups for database integration (specifically MySQL) handled by AgentGPT's CLI

### Choose LLM-Agent-Paper-List if…

- Tags unique to LLM-Agent-Paper-List: large language models, llm, nlp, rl.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.
- Looking to survey key advancements in LLM-based agent research, specifically through papers endorsed by authors.

## When NOT to use AgentGPT

- Avoid using if your project requires a NoSQL database solution, given that AgentGPT is configured specifically with MySQL out-of-the-box
- Consider alternatives if your stack does not include FastAPI or Next.js, as the tool's default configurations might require significant adjustment

## When NOT to use LLM-Agent-Paper-List

- Seeking real-time interactive debugging tools; focuses more on paper reviews and general frameworks than coding sandbox features.
- Require support documentation in languages other than English or project-specific code details, as licensing and detailed documentation are currently unverified.
