## What it is
BeeAI Framework is an open-source, Linux Foundation-hosted framework for building production-grade multi-agent AI systems in Python and TypeScript with full feature parity. It provides constraint-based agent governance, dynamic workflows, declarative YAML orchestration, and native MCP, A2A, and OpenTelemetry integrations.

## Use cases
- build production-ready AI agents in Python or TypeScript
- orchestrate multi-agent systems with parallelism and retries
- connect agents via MCP or A2A protocols
- expose agents as OpenAI-compatible API servers
- enforce deterministic rules on LLM agent behavior
- integrate agents with Zed editor or watsonx Orchestrate
- add observability and tracing to agent workflows

## When to choose
- you need production-grade multi-agent orchestration with governance constraints
- you want Python and TypeScript support with feature parity
- you need MCP, A2A, or Agent Stack interoperability
- you want provider-agnostic LLM support including local models via Ollama
- you need OpenTelemetry observability built in

## When to avoid
- you need a simple single-prompt LLM wrapper with minimal abstraction
- you prefer a framework with a much larger community ecosystem like LangChain
- you need A2A support in TypeScript (Python only)
- you want a fully stable 1.0 API (still pre-1.0 releases)
