alt Hacker NewsI don't want to be that person but there are hundreds of other similar frameworks doing more or less the same thing. Do you know why? Because writing a framework that orchestrates a number of tools with a model is the easy part. In fact, most of the time you don't even need a framework. All of these framework focus on the trivial and you can tell that simply by browsing the examples section.
This is like 5% of the work. The developer needs to fill the other 95% which involves a lot more things that are strictly outside of scope of the framework.

Couldn't agree more. This also looks mostly like a Typescript "port" of Langgraph, and I say "port" because Langgraph has a TS framework already.
True. That's the reason I see a lot of people dropping similar frameworks like LangChain recently: https://medium.com/thoughts-on-machine-learning/drop-langcha...
I agree, and it feels like JS is just the wrong runtime for agents. Really languages that can model state in sane ways and have a good concurrency story like Elixir make much more sense.
And here’s a fun exercise: ask Claude via Cursor or Perplexity with R1 to create a basic agentic framework for you in your language of choice on top of Instructor.
You could describe all frontend JS frameworks the same way: you spend 95% of time on content and mechanics of your webapp, while the framework provides the easy 5%.
Some people don't like frameworks. Some people do. We have a little bit of experience building frameworks, so we figured we'd build a good one.
