Agents
TaglineOpen-source multi-agent 'AI developer' that builds apps step by step with human checkpointsNo-code AI orchestration platform built for graph-native pipelines in drug discovery and enterprise analytics.
CategoryAgentsAgents
PricingFree· Free / open source (MIT). Users supply their own LLM API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Azure, or OpenRouter), so real cost depends on token usage on the chosen provider.Enterprise· Contact sales; no public pricing
ModelModel-agnostic via OpenAI-compatible API (OpenAI GPT-4/4o, Anthropic Claude, Groq-hosted Llama, Azure OpenAI, OpenRouter)Multi-model (LLM agents + GNNs + NVIDIA BioNeMo)

Pros
  • Multi-agent pipeline (Architect, Tech Lead, Developer, Reviewer, Debugger) that mirrors a real dev team rather than a single 'write code' prompt
  • Human-in-the-loop checkpoints between tasks, so you can steer the build instead of babysitting a runaway autonomous loop
  • Model-agnostic via OpenAI-compatible endpoints — works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Azure, and OpenRouter
  • Ships as both a VS Code extension and a standalone CLI, with SQLite/Postgres state so long projects can be paused and resumed
  • Fully open source (MIT), self-hostable, and one of the most-studied reference implementations of the phased-agent pattern
  • Graph-native: first-class GNNs and knowledge graphs, not bolted on
  • GPU-accelerated via NVIDIA cuGraph and BioNeMo integrations
  • No-code workflow builder usable by non-engineer domain experts
  • Pre-built pharma pipelines shorten time to first model
Cons
  • Repository is no longer actively maintained — bug fixes, model updates, and new provider support have stalled
  • Maintainers disclosed malicious code in the codebase from August 2025 through June 2026; anyone who ran it in that window must rotate API keys and audit outbound traffic
  • Token costs on large projects add up quickly because the multi-agent loop re-reads context repeatedly across phases
  • Generated code quality is heavily dependent on the underlying model; weaker models produce brittle scaffolding that needs substantial rework
  • Not a hosted product — you install, configure, and supply your own keys, which is friction for non-developers
  • No public pricing; enterprise sales cycle required
  • Current 2000:MM version is not open source (older 5.x is)
  • Narrow sweet spot outside pharma, finance, and retail verticals
