Pros
  • Clean Python API
  • Strong role/goal abstractions
  • Active community
  • Hosted platform for deployment
  • Apache-2.0 licensed and pip-installable, runs fully self-hosted
  • Visual canvas plus Python escape hatch, no lock-in to a DSL
  • Built-in test cases and failure inspection, not an afterthought
  • Agents export as JSON so they diff cleanly in git
Cons
  • Production observability still maturing
  • Debugging multi-agent flows is hard
  • Managed cloud and official SDKs are still on the roadmap
  • Smaller ecosystem than LangGraph or LlamaIndex
  • Visual builders can hide complexity that bites at scale
