Agent frameworks give developers the building blocks for software that plans, calls tools and acts on behalf of a user: model abstraction, tool definitions, memory, retrieval and orchestration of several cooperating agents. Many also ship a runtime that executes agents as long-running services with task queues, approvals and cost tracking. They sit below finished assistants and coding agents, since you assemble the behaviour yourself rather than install a ready product.
What belongs in this category: A product fits here if its main purpose is to let developers define, run or coordinate their own agents through code, configuration or workflow files, rather than offering a finished chat or coding assistant.
iThub lists 43 tools in Agent Frameworks. 39 of 43 are open source, 38 of 43 can be self-hosted, 42 of 43 have a free, freemium or open-source pricing model and 35 of 43 offer an API.
