AutoChain is a lightweight, extensible Python framework for building custom LLM-powered generative agents with custom tools, inspired by LangChain and AutoGPT. It also provides automated multi-turn agent evaluation using simulated conversations to test agent behavior across user scenarios.

Use cases

• build a custom llm agent with custom tools
• evaluate a conversational agent automatically
• iterate quickly on agent prompts
• simulate multi-turn user conversations to test an agent
• simpler alternative to langchain for agents
• test agent regressions across scenarios

When to choose

• you want a minimal, low-abstraction agent framework that is easy to customize
• you need automated multi-turn evaluation of LLM agents with simulated users
• you are familiar with LangChain but want simpler concepts and faster iteration

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade, actively developed agent framework with a large ecosystem
• you need multi-provider LLM support beyond OpenAI function calling
• you require advanced memory, retrieval, or orchestration features out of the box
