About Agno
Agno is a lightweight Python framework for building AI agents with memory, knowledge, and tool-use, formerly known as Phidata.
It's open source on GitHub and supports multiple LLM providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and Google Gemini, so you're not locked to one model. You bring your own key.
It fits Python developers who want to build agents in code across several model providers. The limits are clear: it's Python-only, so developers working in other languages can't use it, and the freemium tier may cap usage volume or advanced features.
Among agent frameworks, Agno sits at the lightweight, code-first, multi-provider end rather than being a hosted no-code builder.
