The details
vs CrewAI
Library vs platform
CrewAI is a Python library for defining agent teams.
Mentiko adds the production layer: scheduling, monitoring, multi-tenancy, and a visual builder.
CrewAI Cloud charges $0.50/execution. Mentiko is $29/mo flat, unlimited.
vs AutoGen
Framework vs platform
AutoGen is Microsoft's framework for multi-agent conversations.
Mentiko focuses on production infrastructure: UI, scheduling, monitoring, and multi-tenancy.
Both handle agent coordination. Mentiko adds the operational layer around it.
vs LangChain
Framework vs orchestrator
LangChain is a comprehensive ML framework. LangGraph handles orchestration.
Mentiko takes a different approach: bash + file events, built for the orchestration use case.
Different trade-offs. LangChain is broader. Mentiko is narrower and simpler by design.
