Build multi-modal agents in plain Python: text, image, audio, and video inputs handled natively. Agno's tool library and memory system handle the infrastructure.
Build a persistent knowledge graph from your email and meeting notes to draft emails, prep meetings, and run background agents, open-source and local-first, storing everything as plain Markdown.

Agno and RowBoat Labs both sit in Agents, but they're built around different use cases within it.
Choose Agno if…
Best for python developers building agents that need to reason over images, audio, and video, not just text, and its edge is multi-modal by default, no special handling required for non-text inputs, unlike most agent frameworks. A genuinely readable, Pythonic way to build multi-modal agents, there's no TypeScript SDK if that's your stack. Lean toward RowBoat Labs instead if a persistent, linked knowledge graph built from your own email and meeting notes, stored as portable plain Markdown rather than locked into a proprietary format matters more for your use case.
Choose RowBoat Labs if…
Best for people and teams who want an AI coworker that builds a lasting knowledge graph from their email and meeting notes, then uses it to draft emails, prep meetings, and run background agents, and its edge is a persistent, linked knowledge graph built from your own email and meeting notes, stored as portable plain Markdown rather than locked into a proprietary format. A distinctive local-first AI coworker built around a persistent knowledge graph, still a young product following its pivot from a multi-agent IDE, so expect the real-world track record to keep developing. Lean toward Agno instead if multi-modal by default, no special handling required for non-text inputs, unlike most agent frameworks matters more for your use case.
