 AgentField is an open-source control plane that lets you build AI agents callable by any service in your stack - frontends, backends, other agents, cron jobs - just like any other API. You write agent logic in Python, Go, or TypeScript. AgentField turns it into production infrastructure: routing, coordination, memory, async execution, and cryptographic audit trails. Every function becomes a REST endpoint. Every agent gets a cryptographic identity. Every decision is traceable.

+## How AgentField fits in your stack
+
+Most agent tools help you **write** agent logic. AgentField is what **runs** it in production — the operating layer that makes agents callable by software, durable across failures, governed by policy, and provable by audit.

-## Is AgentField for you?
-
-**Yes if** you’re building beyond chatbots or small multi-agent workflows. If your agents are making decisions inside backend systems like approving refunds, processing claims, coordinating research, or running code, and you need routing, async execution, tracing, and audit trails.
-
-**Not yet if** you’re still in the chatbot or early workflow stage, tools like LangChain or CrewAI are a great fit to explore and iterate. When you start pushing toward larger, production-grade agent systems, that’s where we come in.
