Agno at a glance

A Python framework and runtime: the SDK builds agents, teams and workflows, and AgentOS serves them as a FastAPI app on your own infrastructure. Sessions, memory and traces stay in your database, and a hosted Control Plane UI connects from the browser.

Best for: Teams that want to own a complete agent platform, with RBAC and Slack or WhatsApp interfaces, on their own servers.
