What is Agno?

Agno is a framework, runtime, and control plane for multi-agent systems.

Layer	What it does
Framework	Build agents, teams, and workflows with memory, knowledge, guardrails, and 100+ integrations
AgentOS Runtime	Run your system in production with a stateless, secure FastAPI backend
Control Plane	Test, monitor, and manage your system using the AgentOS UI

Why Agno?

Private by design. AgentOS runs in your cloud. The control plane connects directly to your runtime from your browser. No retention costs, no vendor lock-in, no compliance headaches.
Production-ready on day one. Pre-built FastAPI runtime with SSE endpoints, ready to deploy.
Fast. 529× faster instantiation than LangGraph. 24× lower memory. See benchmarks →

Example

An agent with MCP tools, persistent state, served via FastAPI:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.db.sqlite import SqliteDb
from agno.models.anthropic import Claude
from agno.os import AgentOS
from agno.tools.mcp import MCPTools

agno_agent = Agent(
    name="Agno Agent",
    model=Claude(id="claude-sonnet-4-5"),
    db=SqliteDb(db_file="agno.db"),
    tools=[MCPTools(transport="streamable-http", url="https://docs.agno.com/mcp")],
    add_history_to_context=True,
    markdown=True,
)

agent_os = AgentOS(agents=[agno_agent])
app = agent_os.get_app()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    agent_os.serve(app="agno_agent:app", reload=True)

Run this and connect to the AgentOS UI:

Features

Core

Model-agnostic: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, local models
Type-safe I/O with input_schema and output_schema
Async-first, built for long-running tasks
Natively multimodal (text, images, audio, video, files)

Memory & Knowledge

Persistent storage for session history and state
User memory across sessions
Agentic RAG with 20+ vector stores, hybrid search, reranking
Culture: shared long-term memory across agents

Orchestration

Human-in-the-loop (confirmations, approvals, overrides)
Guardrails for validation and security
Pre/post hooks for the agent lifecycle
First-class MCP and A2A support
100+ built-in toolkits

Production

Ready-to-use FastAPI runtime
Integrated control plane UI
Evals for accuracy, performance, latency
Durable execution for resumable workflows
RBAC and per-agent permissions

Performance

Agent workloads spawn hundreds of instances. Stateless, horizontal scalability isn't optional.

Metric	Agno	LangGraph	PydanticAI	CrewAI
Instantiation	3μs	1,587μs (529×)	170μs (57×)	210μs (70×)
Memory	6.6 KiB	161 KiB (24×)	29 KiB (4×)	66 KiB (10×)
