## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: agent-framework, workflow-automation, llm-inference, concurrency, scheduling, webhook
- domain: large-language-models, backend, microservices
- platform: elixir, jvm-scripting, self-hosted, serverless
- tags: otp, beam, multi-agent-systems, supervision, fault-tolerance, signals, elixir-package, event-driven, ai-agents, automation
