What is Agno?
Agno is a framework and runtime for agent platforms: you build agents with the Agno SDK, run them as a service with the AgentOS runtime and manage the platform in a web UI.
It is designed so you own your agent stack, with control of your data, memory and security (JWT-based RBAC). A local Docker setup gives you a REST API for serving agents, a Postgres database for data and traces, an MCP server and a control plane.
