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?"

What we believe

Three things we don't compromise on.

Engineer-first
We write documentation for the person debugging at 2am with a broken pipeline — not for VPs in boardrooms. Every API decision starts with: "would I want to use this at 3,000 lines of code?" If the answer is no, we cut it.
Open by default
The core framework is free, MIT-licensed, and will never have features paywalled. We believe the infrastructure layer of AI pipelines should be a public good. We make money on managed cloud hosting, not on restricting access to the tools.
🛡️
Production-grade or nothing
We don't ship features that work in demos but fail under real load. Everything we build goes through our own production systems first. If we wouldn't trust it with a client's pipeline, we don't release it.

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.
