When NOT to use chainlit
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- - Avoid if your development team is not comfortable with Python as Chainlit relies heavily on its ecosystem for rapid conversational AI development.
- - Not suitable if you require customization in low-level components, as it abstracts a lot of these away to provide quick builds.
