Kai Renner Every “best AI agent frameworks” article gives you the same thing: a list of frameworks with feature bullets and GitHub star counts. None of them answer the question that actually matters: which one will still work when your agent handles real traffic, real edge cases, and real money? This guide takes a different approach.

Most “getting started” tutorials show you how to build an agent. This one shows you how to build an agent that works reliably.

By the end of this tutorial, you will have a working agent … Read more
LangChain’s own team published a blog post titled “Agent Frameworks, Runtimes, and Harnesses – oh my!” that explains the distinction. Frameworks provide abstractions for building agents. Runtimes provide infrastructure for running them. Harnesses provide opinionated defaults and built-in capabilities for deploying them reliably. LangChain is the first. An agent harness is the third. They are … Read more
