OSS agent frameworks
L2H vs LangChain / LlamaIndex / CrewAI
LangChain (LangChain, Inc.), LlamaIndex (LlamaIndex, Inc.), and CrewAI (CrewAI, Inc.) are open-source libraries and frameworks for building agentic systems. Each project also offers commercial managed services (LangSmith, LlamaCloud, CrewAI+). L2H is a customer-hosted platform that includes a workflow runtime, multi-tenant RBAC, audit, deployment tooling, and a plugin SDK — capabilities that teams using these libraries typically build themselves.
