&lt;p&gt;Every star count on this page comes straight from the &lt;strong&gt;GitHub API&lt;/strong&gt; — no estimates, no vendor claims. We curate which agents make the list (actively maintained, genuinely agentic, significant adoption) and let the numbers speak for the order.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The landscape splits into seven categories:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;🤖 Personal AI Assistants&lt;/strong&gt; — always-on agents like &lt;a href="https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw"&gt;OpenClaw&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent"&gt;Hermes Agent&lt;/a&gt; that live on your devices, remember context, and act across your apps&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;💻 Coding Agents&lt;/strong&gt; — terminal and IDE agents that write and ship real code: OpenCode, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, OpenHands, Cline, Aider, Goose&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;🔧 Agent Frameworks&lt;/strong&gt; — build-your-own-agent toolkits: MetaGPT, AutoGen, CrewAI, LangGraph, smolagents&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;🌐 Browser &amp;amp; Computer Use&lt;/strong&gt; — agents that drive real browsers and desktops: Browser Use, Skyvern, Cua&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;🔬 Autonomous &amp;amp; Research&lt;/strong&gt; — long-horizon planners and deep-research agents: AutoGPT, GPT Researcher&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;🛡️ Security Agents&lt;/strong&gt; — offensive and defensive automation: Strix, CAI&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;📦 Infrastructure &amp;amp; Sandboxes&lt;/strong&gt; — the secure runtimes agents execute in: E2B, OpenSandbox&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most agents on this page speak the &lt;strong&gt;Model Context Protocol&lt;/strong&gt;. Browse our &lt;a href="https://findpicked.com/mcp/"&gt;MCP servers directory&lt;/a&gt; to extend any of them with new tools, and the &lt;a href="https://findpicked.com/skill/"&gt;Claude Code skills directory&lt;/a&gt; for reusable agent workflows.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
