Product overview
Agno provides a Pythonic agent framework for creating self-learning agents, teams, and workflows with memory, tools, knowledge, and guardrails, paired with AgentOS—a production runtime that deploys them as scalable APIs in your cloud.. It targets engineering teams shipping production AI systems, distinguishing itself with extreme speed (529x faster instantiation than LangGraph), low memory footprint, and built-in privacy/security via JWT, RBAC, and no data egress. A control plane enables monitoring, evaluation, and management without external dependencies.
Revenue model
Open-source core (Apache-2.0) free for self-hosting; paid SaaS tiers: Free (local use), Pro ($150/mo for production Control Plane, unlimited usage), Enterprise (custom with SLAs, SSO).
