AWS's open-source SDK for building production agents with a model-driven approach: you supply a model, tools, and a prompt, and the model plans and drives the loop. Model-agnostic (Amazon Bedrock, Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, and more), with native MCP tool support, 20+ built-in tools, conversation/context management, hooks, guardrails, and built-in OpenTelemetry observability.

Pros & cons

  • Simple model-driven agent loop
  • Python and TypeScript SDKs
  • Native MCP support, 20+ built-in tools
  • Observability built in
  • Battle-tested inside Amazon
  • Newer ecosystem than LangChain
  • Deepest integration is with AWS/Bedrock
  • TypeScript SDK trails the Python one

    LangGraph

    LangChain

    Graph-based agent orchestration. Stateful loops with checkpoints.

    LangChain's agent layer. Model agents as nodes in a state graph with persistent checkpoints, human-in-the-loop steps, and durable execution. Strong when you need a long-running, debuggable agent rather than a one-shot chain.

    Durable checkpointed state
    Steeper learning curve

    CrewAI

    crewAIInc

    Multi-agent framework with explicit roles and tasks.

    Python framework for orchestrating crews of specialised agents — researcher, writer, reviewer — coordinated through shared context. Opinionated about roles, sequencing, and delegation; good fit for content-and-research pipelines.

    Agno

    Agno

    High-performance Python framework for multi-agent systems.

    Agno is an open-source Python framework for building multi-agent systems with memory, knowledge, tools, and reasoning. Agents are fast to instantiate and can be composed into teams, and the companion AgentOS runtime serves them in production as a FastAPI app with a control plane.

    Fast agent instantiation, low memory use
    Younger than LangChain and LlamaIndex
