LangGraph
Graph-based agent framework
LangGraph is a low-level framework from LangChain for modelling stateful agents as a graph of nodes and edges. Unlike pure DAG tools, LangGraph allows cycles, i.e. loops in which an agent repeats steps until a condition is met. Persistence, checkpoints and human approvals are built in; LangSmith Deployment is available for running it in production.

- DeveloperCrewAICrewAI is a Python framework for teams of agents with defined roles, goals and tasks. Crews work through tasks sequentially or hierarchically, while Flows control event-driven, stateful processes. The framework is MIT licensed; for deployment, monitoring and management CrewAI offers the commercial platform CrewAI AMP.View profile
- DeveloperGoogle Agent Development Kit (ADK)The Agent Development Kit (ADK) is an open-source framework from Google for building, evaluating and deploying agents in code. It is available for Python, TypeScript, Go, Java and Kotlin and offers workflow agents for sequential, parallel and loop flows, plus graph-based workflows since version 2.0. ADK is optimized for Gemini but also works with Claude, OpenAI models and local models; deployment targets include Agent Runtime, Cloud Run and GKE.View profile
- DeveloperMicrosoft Agent FrameworkMicrosoft Agent Framework is Microsoft's open-source framework for agents and multi-agent workflows in Python and .NET. Version 1.0 shipped in April 2026 and is the unified successor of Semantic Kernel and AutoGen. A graph-based workflow engine supports branching, parallelism, checkpoints and human approvals; ready-made patterns exist for sequential, concurrent, handoff, group chat and Magentic-One orchestration. MCP and A2A are supported.View profile
- DeveloperOpenAI Agents SDKThe OpenAI Agents SDK is a lightweight framework for agents and multi-agent workflows in Python and TypeScript. It relies on a few primitives: agents with tools, handoffs to delegate to other agents, guardrails to validate inputs and outputs, and sessions as memory. Tracing is built in, MCP servers can be connected directly, and besides the OpenAI Responses API other model providers are supported. OpenAI describes the SDK as the production-ready evolution of Swarm.View profile
