AgentField vs agent frameworks
When you need infrastructure, not only an app-level SDK.
LangChain, CrewAI, and similar tools are strong for single-app agents. AgentField targets many agents as services: independent deploys, REST discovery, shared memory, durable async, cryptographic audit.
| Concern | Typical framework app | AgentField |
|---|---|---|
| Deploy units | Often one service | Each agent scales independently |
| Call surface | In-process / custom glue | HTTP + app.call through control plane |
| Long jobs | You add queues/webhooks | Async execution + signed webhooks built in |
| Cross-agent state | Bring your own DB | Shared memory scopes + events |
| Strong audit | Usually logs only | DIDs, VCs, policy, execution DAG |
Use a framework inside a node if you want; AgentField is the runtime and control plane around those nodes.
