Guides by job

Each guide sets out how the tools for one job differ, and leaves the choice to you.

• Agent frameworks

  Agent frameworks and harnesses supply the loop around a language model.

• Browser agents

  Software that lets a model operate a screen covers more than web pages.

• Coding agents

  A coding agent reads a codebase, edits files and runs commands on a developer's behalf, usually from a plain-language request.

• MCP servers

  Model Context Protocol servers give a coding agent extra abilities through a shared interface, such as searching code, recalling earlier work, fetching documents or operating another program.

• Memory

  Many agents start each session without what earlier ones learned.

• Multi-agent orchestration

  Some work is too big for one agent session.

• Retrieval

  A model only knows what is in its prompt and its training.

• Sandboxes

  Agents run code, open browsers and hold credentials, so people look for somewhere to run them that limits what they touch.

• Workflow builders

  A workflow builder lets someone assemble the steps around a language model, such as document lookup, tool calls and hand-offs, without writing the whole thing as code.
