# Agno

Builds Python agents, teams and workflows and serves them as an API with the AgentOS runtime

Category: Agent frameworks. Tier: standard (a well-known tool, listed for reference, not ranked). Pricing: Open source. License: Apache-2.0.

## Why you would want it

Agno is a Python SDK with three primitives (agents, teams and workflows) plus a runtime, AgentOS, that serves them through a production API with 50+ endpoints over SSE and websockets. Sessions, memory, knowledge and traces are stored in your own database, and the runtime adds human approval, OpenTelemetry tracing, JWT-based RBAC with multi-tenant isolation, cron scheduling, and interfaces for Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, AG-UI and A2A. Starter templates deploy it with Docker to Railway, AWS, GCP, Azure, Fly, Render, Modal or Helm.

## Best for

- Self-hosted agent platforms
- Serving agents to many users
- Agents exposed in Slack or messaging apps

## Use it when

You want to build agents and also run them as a multi-user service on your own infrastructure, with data kept in your own database.

## Skip it if

You are not on Python. Agno sends a telemetry event per agent run by default (prompts, messages and outputs are not sent); set AGNO_TELEMETRY=false to turn it off.

## Install

Install with pip:

```sh
pip install -U agno openai
```
