Overview

Agno is a platform for building, running, and managing AI agent platforms. It consists of a 3-layer architecture: SDK for building agents, multi-agent teams, and workflows; Runtime for running them as production services with session management, tracing, and RBAC; and Control Plane for platform management via AgentOS UI. Everything except the Control Plane is free and open-source. It targets developers creating production AI agent systems, supporting multimodal agents with memory, knowledge, tools, and reasoning.

Key Features

Production API - 50+ endpoints with SSE and websockets for building products on agent platforms.
Storage - Postgres for sessions/memory, Clickhouse for traces.
100+ Integrations - Pre-built toolkits for integrating with external tools.
Context Providers - Access live data from Slack, Drive, wikis, MCP, and custom sources.
Observability - OpenTelemetry tracing, run history, and audit logs.
Security - JWT-based RBAC and multi-tenant isolation.
Interfaces - Expose agents via Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, AG-UI, A2A.
Scheduling - Cron-based scheduling and background jobs.
User Profiles - Structured storage for user static facts and dynamic context.

Pricing

Plan	Price	Includes

Alternatives

App	Difference
LangChain	More modular LLM chaining library; less focus on production runtime and control plane.
CrewAI	Emphasizes multi-agent collaboration; lighter on production deployment features.
AutoGen	Microsoft-backed conversational agents; requires more custom orchestration.
Haystack	Specialized in RAG pipelines; narrower scope than full agent platforms.

Reputation

Agno is recognized for its speed, low memory footprint, and model-agnostic design, making it suitable for production multi-agent systems. Users praise the simple Python-based setup and extensive integrations. Some note it's relatively new (released 2023), with community growth ongoing but smaller than established frameworks.
