How we choose projects

The Library introduces AI projects made by other people and companies, and links to their official instructions. Here is what we add, what we leave out and where each page's facts come from.

What gets into the Library

We add projects to the Agent Flows Hub Library that people can start using today. A project needs all of these:

  • It works now. It has a public repository or an official website, with clear install or getting-started steps.
  • Its source is clear. It comes from an official repository or official website, and its creator or organization is named.
  • Its license lets people use it. An open-source project needs an OSI-approved open-source license, or a published license with conditions that its page states (see below). A closed product needs to be released publicly by its company or official team, with official documentation. A project with no license at all, or with terms we cannot identify, is left out.
  • It is still maintained. It has had a commit or a release in the last 180 days (for a closed product, an entry in its official changelog), and its repository is not archived.
  • It helps people get something done. We can say in one plain sentence what it does for you, someone who does not write code can get started from the official instructions, and the result is something you can see: a file, an automation, a working app or a finished piece of work.
  • It is not a copy. A rebrand or fork of a project that is already in the Library is left out.

Public interest counts too: new open-source projects we find each week need a real following or clear, recent growth, and we leave out ones whose interest has stopped growing. For closed products and official releases from a project's maker, popularity counts for less.

We leave out announcements, concepts, roadmaps and projects that only have a demo video or a waiting list. We also leave out lists and directories of other projects, frameworks and SDKs for building your own agents, code libraries, AI models, datasets, prompt collections, courses and articles.

Open-source projects and closed products

The Library has both. A closed product is listed when a company or official team has released it publicly with official documentation. Its page says who makes it and how to install it. Where a product needs an account or a subscription, its page says so, names the plans and links the official pricing page. We do not quote prices, because they change. Naming a product does not mean we work with its maker or that the maker endorses us.

Some licenses come with conditions, for example a name and logo that must stay in place, no use as a hosted service, or a separate license for commercial use. Projects under licenses like these are included. Each of their pages states the condition in one plain sentence and links the license text, with a clear notice to read the license before you use the project: commercial use may be restricted.

What each project page contains

Each project page explains what the project does and who it is for, what you need before you start, the official install steps with their sources, the license and any conditions, and who made it. It also has an install brief in plain Markdown and an install request you can copy to your own AI agent; For AI agents explains how they work.

The facts come from the creator's own documentation, repository and official site. We write each description ourselves and do not copy descriptions, rankings or screenshots from directory sites. The list of agents a project works with is the creator's own claim, and the page says so. Our notes on a project are written from the creator's documentation, not from running it ourselves, and each page says that too. Where our page and the official source differ, the official source wins.

Trending ranks projects that are already in the Library. The lists for this week and the last 30 days are ranked from public popularity signals over that window and community discussion, weighed by how ready each project is for everyday use. The all-time list of open-source projects is ranked from their total following, how ready they are for everyday use and recent upkeep, with small editorial adjustments. Closed-source products have no public counts to compare, so our editors order that list from what their makers publish and how ready each product is for everyday use; we do not estimate user numbers. The lists for this week and the last 30 days are refreshed once a week, and the all-time lists once a month; each row links to the project's page in the Library.

When a page is wrong

If a project page is wrong or out of date, use Report a problem on that page, or choose A correction to a page in the contact form, with the source that shows it. We correct the page.

For a bug in the project itself, contact its creator: each project page links to the creator's repository or official site.
