Jido is an autonomous agent framework for Elixir that runs agents as supervised BEAM processes with fault tolerance, signal-based coordination, and typed actions built in. AI/LLM integration is optional via companion packages like jido_ai, while the core provides the agent architecture and runtime.

Use cases

• build autonomous AI agents in Elixir
• orchestrate multi-agent systems with fault tolerance
• run long-lived supervised agent workflows on the BEAM
• build customer support agents with LLM tools
• create document processing and routing pipelines
• coordinate agents with event-driven signals
• build DevOps remediation agents that self-heal

When to choose

• you're an Elixir/OTP developer building production agent systems
• you need process isolation, supervision, and automatic crash recovery for agents
• you want to run thousands of agents per node without external orchestrators
• you want explicit, testable coordination contracts between agents
• you want provider-agnostic LLM integration you can swap without code changes

When to avoid

• your team has no Elixir experience and can't invest in learning it
• you need a quick Python-based agent prototype with a large ecosystem
• you only need a simple single-agent chatbot without distributed runtime concerns
• you require mature, stable tooling - core packages are still in beta
