What is AgentKit?
AgentKit is a framework built by Inngest that helps developers create AI agent systems ranging from simple model calls to complex multi-agent networks. It focuses on orchestration and provides tools to build, test, and deploy reliable AI applications at scale.
Top Features:
- Composable primitives: build anything from basic support agents to semi-autonomous coding assistants with simple building blocks.
- Multi-model support: works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and any OpenAI API compatible models.
- Tools building API: includes powerful functionality for creating and integrating tools with MCP support.
- Live UI streaming: streams updates directly to your interface for real-time feedback.
- Local traces and logs: provides comprehensive monitoring when paired with the Inngest Dev Server.
Use Cases:
- AI support agents: create customer service or help desk agents that respond intelligently to inquiries.
- Code analysis: build agents that can explain, analyze, and troubleshoot complex code bases.
- Autonomous bug solving: develop systems that can identify and fix code issues independently.
- Multi-agent workflows: create specialized agent networks that collaborate on complex tasks.
Who Can Use AgentKit?
- Software developers: developers looking to integrate AI capabilities into their applications.
- AI engineers: specialists who need a framework for building complex agent systems.
- Development teams: groups working on scalable AI solutions for production environments.
- Product builders: creators who want to add AI functionality without handling low-level details.
Pricing
AgentKit is completely free to use. There are no paid plans or subscriptions required to access its core features.
