How to choose an AI agent

An AI agent takes a goal, uses tools (a browser, your files, your apps) and works through the steps until it is done. The agents here differ in who runs them and how much they can reach.

  • Open-source personal agents: Hermes Agent and OpenClaw are free to host yourself, work with any model and talk to you in chat apps such as WhatsApp and Telegram. By default their tools run on the machine you install them on, so run them in a container or a VM, and read a skill before you install it.

  • Agents from the AI labs: Claude comes with every paid Claude plan from $20 a month, Grok Bot with The X Subscription from $30 and OpenAI's dots with ChatGPT Pro from $100. Grok Bot and dots have their own cloud computer and keep working between chats; Claude works in folders on your computer and runs scheduled tasks in the cloud.

  • Hosted agents: Manus needs nothing installed and gives 300 free credits a day, but it does not publish what a task costs in credits.

  • AI agent builders: n8n adds an AI Agent node to its workflow automation and a no-code agent builder that answers in Slack, Telegram or Teams; it is free to self-host under a fair-code license. Dify builds an agent from a chat and gives each one its own sandbox; self-hosting it needs Docker. Lindy is hosted only: you teach it routines in plain English.

  • Agent frameworks: to build an agent into your own product, LangGraph runs agents as graphs with saved state, CrewAI organizes them into crews by role and goal (both Python), and Mastra is the TypeScript choice, with a local Studio. All three are open source, sell a hosted platform on top, and some of their tools send usage data by default, so check the opt-out.

Before you give an agent your email or accounts, check what it can do without asking you, where its data is kept and whether your conversations train the vendor's models. For agents that write code in your repository, see AI coding tools.
