About n00dles

We're building the
framework we always wanted.

n00dles started as a weekend project to fix the one thing that made us want to quit building with LLMs. It's grown into something we're proud to ship.

Six months of LangChain before we broke.

In late 2024, our team was building a multi-agent research system for a fintech client. We chose LangChain because it was the obvious choice. Six months later, we had 4,000 lines of orchestration code and a system that failed 1 in 10 times under production load.

We tried CrewAI. Better ergonomics, but the state management still wasn't there. We tried LangGraph — closer to what we wanted, but the learning curve was steep and the deploy story was non-existent.

So we did what engineers do when nothing fits: we built it ourselves. First as an internal library, then as an open-source project, then as the thing you're reading about right now.

n00dles is our answer to the question "what would a multi-agent framework look like if it was designed for production from day one, by people who've had their pipelines wake them up at 2am?"

Okay, but why "noodles"?

We get asked this constantly, and honestly, the metaphor holds up better than we expected when we picked the name over beers:

  • 🍜Noodles are long, connected, tangled threads — that's an agent chain. One agent's output twists straight into the next agent's input.
  • Multiple noodles in one bowl — that's parallel agents. A dozen pipelines can run at once, sharing the same plate, never tangling with each other.
  • 🥣A bowl holds it all together — that's the orchestration runtime. Without it, you just have a mess of cold noodles on the counter. With it, dinner's ready.

How we work

The n00dles philosophy

>>
Ship before perfect
Every feature ships when it works, not when it's flawless. We iterate in public, break things in dev, and learn from real usage. Perfect is the enemy of production.
[]
Type everything
Untyped interfaces are a lie. We type our I/O contracts, our API responses, our internal state. If it can fail at runtime because of a bad type, it should fail at definition time instead.
0x
Defaults that work
The default behavior should be correct for 80% of use cases. Configuration exists for the other 20%. We never make the user configure their way to a working system.
Failures are first-class
Things fail. LLMs return garbage. APIs rate-limit. Networks drop. We design for failure as a normal operating condition, not an edge case. Retry logic isn't an afterthought.
No magic
Frameworks that hide what they're doing create debugging nightmares. n00dles is readable. You can trace exactly what every call does, where every token goes, and why every decision was made.

Take the work seriously
We named our company after a noodle dish. We take the puns seriously too. Life's too short for soulless dev tools. Good work and good humor aren't mutually exclusive.
The team

Meet the noodles.

We're engineers, designers, and devrel humans distributed across 9 countries and every timezone that has decent ramen. Click any card to learn more. Hover to see their noodle type — yes, we assigned everyone one.

Open source

Built in public.
Maintained forever.

n00dles is MIT-licensed and developed entirely in the open on GitHub. Every bug fix, every feature, every decision — it's all there. We accept PRs, we respond to issues, and we don't have a separate "enterprise-only" fork.

We believe the multi-agent orchestration layer should be a public good. The cloud platform is how we fund the open-source work — not the other way around.
