When NOT to use magentic
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If your project demands a more complex setup or customization beyond what Magentic offers out of the box.
- When you are working in an environment where Python is not the primary language, as Magentic is specifically designed for Python.
