Building & Product

Which platform or framework should I build my agents on?

Match the tool to who is building. Non-technical founders should start no-code (Zapier Agents, Lindy, n8n) and only graduate when they hit a wall. If you have engineers, LangGraph gives the most control for production agents, CrewAI is fastest for role-based prototypes, and the OpenAI Agents SDK is the lightest path if you are committed to OpenAI models. Whatever you pick, start with the simplest thing that works; most agent products are one model, one loop and good tools.
