Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
This repository is a curated directory of AI agent use cases, not a single piece of software to run. It solves a common problem for developers and business people: figuring out what AI agents, software programs that can reason, plan, and act autonomously using AI, are actually useful for in the real world. The collection organizes hundreds of real-world AI agent projects by industry and by the frameworks used to build them. Industries covered include healthcare, finance, education, retail, transportation, manufacturing, real estate, agriculture, energy, entertainment, legal, human resources, hospitality, gaming, cybersecurity, e-commerce, and supply chain. Each entry includes a plain description of what the agent does and a link to an open-source implementation on GitHub. You would turn to this resource when you need inspiration for what to build, want to see how others have applied agent technology in your industry, or are looking for reference code to start from. The repository is categorized not just by use case but also by the frameworks, such as CrewAI, AutoGen, Agno, and Langgraph, used to build the agents, which helps you find examples that match your preferred tools. It is a living index rather than a product, aimed at developers, researchers, and business people exploring where AI agents are creating real impact.
A curated directory of 500+ real-world AI agent projects organized by industry and framework, helping you discover what autonomous AI agents can actually do and find reference code to build from.
