What are Agents?

Agents are AI programs that use tools to accomplish tasks.

Agents are a stateful control loop around a stateless model. The model reasons and calls tools in a loop, guided by instructions. Add memory, knowledge, storage, human-in-the-loop, and guardrails as needed.

Agents from External Frameworks

Agno also serves agents built with the Claude Agent SDK, LangGraph, and DSPy through the same AgentOS runtime. See Multi-Framework Support to wrap an external agent in ClaudeAgent, LangGraphAgent, or DSPyAgent and register it with AgentOS(agents=[...]) alongside native ones.
