// how it works
How it works
- Define the job
Research, coding, browsing, or ops — agents work best with a clear goal.
- Pick a framework
From no-code builders to code-first SDKs, match complexity to the task.
- Give it tools
Web search, code execution, and APIs are what make agents useful.
- Run and supervise
Watch the trace, approve consequential actions, iterate.
// features
Why people love it
LLM-powered
Large language models drive its smartest features, locally or via API.
Self-hosted
Run agents on your infra with your keys.
Model agnostic
Swap frontier models as better ones appear.
Observability
Traces show exactly what the agent did and why.
Human in the loop
Approval gates for actions that matter.
Memory
Long-term memory across sessions, not goldfish chat.

Questions, answered
Who maintains voltagent?
It is an open-source project at VoltAgent/voltagent with 1,153 forks. Check the repo's contributors and recent commits to see how active maintenance is.
Is voltagent free for commercial use?
MIT licensed — use it commercially, no strings attached.
Do I need to code?
Builders exist, but code-first frameworks go further.
What does it cost to run?
Model API bills dominate; self-hosted stacks cut that sharply.
Are agents reliable enough?
For bounded tasks with supervision, yes. Fully autonomous money-moves still need guardrails.
