Developers and engineering teams in search of a tool for composing workflows, integrating tools, managing memory, and observing behavior in their agentic systems

About Agent Builder

Agent Builder is part of OpenAI’s tooling for constructing agentic applications, systems that use large language models to perform multi-step tasks autonomously, with governance, tool integration, memory, orchestration, and observability baked in. The platform offers a composable set of primitives—models, tools, memory/state, guardrails, and workflow orchestration- that developers assemble into agents capable of deciding when to call a tool, when to act, and when to halt and hand off control. OpenAI provides a new Responses API that combines chat capabilities with built-in tool use, along with an Agents SDK (Python, JS/TS) that abstracts the control loop, supports guardrail enforcement (validations on inputs/outputs), handoffs between agents, session management, and tracing of agent executions. Agents can be augmented with built-in tools like web search, file search, or computer use, or custom function-calling tools.

AgentKit
AgentKit
AgentKit is a unified suite of tools designed to streamline the process of building, deploying, and optimizing AI agents. It introduces Agent Builder, a visual canvas that lets developers compose multi-agent workflows via drag-and-drop nodes, set guardrails, preview runs, and version workflows. The Connector Registry centralizes the management of data and tool integrations across workspaces and ensures governance and access control. ChatKit enables frictionless embedding of agentic chat interfaces, customizable to match branding and experience, into web or app environments. To support robust performance and reliability, AgentKit enhances its evaluation infrastructure with datasets, trace grading, automated prompt optimization, and support for third-party models. It also supports reinforcement fine-tuning to push agent capabilities further.

OpenAI Agents SDK
OpenAI Agents SDK
​The OpenAI Agents SDK enables you to build agentic AI apps in a lightweight, easy-to-use package with very few abstractions. It's a production-ready upgrade of our previous experimentation for agents, Swarm. The Agents SDK has a very small set of primitives, agents, which are LLMs equipped with instructions and tools; handoffs, which allow agents to delegate to other agents for specific tasks; and guardrails, which enable the inputs to agents to be validated. In combination with Python, these primitives are powerful enough to express complex relationships between tools and agents, and allow you to build real-world applications without a steep learning curve. In addition, the SDK comes with built-in tracing that lets you visualize and debug your agentic flows, evaluate them, and even fine-tune models for your application.

Build complex automations 10x faster, without fighting APIs. Your days spent slogging through a spaghetti of scripts are over. Use JavaScript when you need flexibility and UI for everything else. n8n allows you to build flexible workflows focused on deep data integration. And with sharable templates and a user-friendly UI, the less technical people on your team can collaborate on them too. Unlike other tools, complexity is not a limitation. So you can build whatever you want — without stressing over budget. Connect APIs with no code to automate basic tasks. Or write vanilla Javascript when you need to manipulate complex data. You can implement multiple triggers. Branch and merge your workflows. And even pause flows to wait for external events. Interface easily with any API or service with custom HTTP requests. Avoid breaking live workflows by separating dev and prod environments with unique sets of auth data.

kagent
kagent
kagent is an open source, cloud-native AI agent framework designed to let teams build, deploy, and run autonomous AI agents directly inside Kubernetes clusters to automate complex operational tasks, troubleshoot cloud-native systems, and manage workloads without constant human intervention. It enables DevOps and platform engineers to create intelligent agents that understand natural language, plan, reason, and execute multi-step actions across Kubernetes environments using built-in tools and Model Context Protocol (MCP)-compatible tool integrations for functions like querying metrics, displaying pod logs, managing resources, and interacting with service meshes. It supports multiple model providers (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and others), agent-to-agent communication for orchestrating sophisticated workflows, and observability features that help teams monitor agent behavior and performance.
