In plain English

This repository is a curated awesome-list, an organized index of links rather than working code, that catalogues AI agents. An AI agent, in this context, is a program that uses a large language model to take goals from a user, plan a series of steps, and then act on them, often using external tools. The README explains that the list is split into two parts: open-source projects you can run yourself, and closed-source projects or companies that offer agents as products. Each entry in the list follows the same pattern. There is a short tagline describing what the agent does, an expandable section with a category label (for example general-purpose, build-your-own, or multi-agent), a longer description of features, and links out to the project's documentation, GitHub repository, website, or community channels. The list is alphabetical within each section and maintained by community contributions through pull requests or a submission form. The repository also points to a companion list for SDKs, frameworks, and tools used to build AI agents, since this one is reserved for the agents themselves. You would use this when you want to discover what AI agents already exist, for example to evaluate tools to integrate, to research the landscape before building your own, or simply to see how varied the field has become. There is also a web version that allows filtering by category and use case. The README is mostly a markdown index, so it does not list a single primary language. The full README is longer than what was provided.
