Privacy
Self-hosted deployments keep data on your infrastructure.
Good privacy posture for most teams, especially when self-hosted or carefully configured.
Agno pros
- Extremely fast — benchmarks show 3x LangGraph speed.
- Native multi-agent team support built-in.
- Strong memory architecture with multiple storage backends.
DroidClaw pros
- Open source with transparent code and flexible deployment options.
- Strong privacy story for users who care where data runs.
- Can handle meaningful autonomous work instead of acting only as a reactive chatbot.
Agno cons
- Developer-focused — no visual builder.
- Ecosystem smaller than LangChain/LangGraph.
- Requires Python knowledge.
DroidClaw cons
- Setup leans technical and will slow down non-operators.
- Security posture is weak for high-trust or regulated workflows.
- Channel coverage is narrow, so distribution options are constrained.
Agno gotchas
- Formerly called Phidata — old docs may use old name.
- Start with single agent before multi-agent orchestration.
DroidClaw gotchas
- Review the official docs before committing, because integration details can change faster than summary pages.
