The outcome

Get into the official Agno experience with the right account and a setup you understand.

Agno is a Agent platform formerly known as Phidata for Python agents, teams, workflows, memory, knowledge, evaluation, tracing, and AgentOS operations. Building Python agents, specialist teams, and deterministic workflows, then serving and managing them through AgentOS with sessions, memory, knowledge, tracing, evaluation, RBAC, and approvals. This guide narrows that broad capability into one repeatable outcome, with checkpoints that keep the source material and your judgment in the loop.

Before you begin

Set the boundary before the tool starts.

Choose one real task, identify who will use the result, and decide what evidence or test will make the result acceptable. Gather only the source material needed for that task. If the work contains confidential, personal, regulated, or client-owned information, confirm that the platform and account are approved before sharing it.

Troiana principle

AI should make the work easier to inspect. If the workflow removes the source, the owner, or the review step, redesign the workflow.

Step by step

A workflow you can repeat.

  1. 01

    Start at https://agno.com/ and confirm the domain before entering account or payment information.

  2. 02

    For desktop use, follow the official download link. Current availability: Agno is installed as a Python SDK and served through AgentOS, with a web control plane and Studio connected to the user's own runtime and database..

  3. 03

    A supported Python environment, model and integration credentials, an application database, authenticated AgentOS deployment, tenant and user identity design, approved tools and knowledge, evals, and observability and incident ownership.

  4. 04

    Sign in with the account you intend to keep using, then review plan, data, notification, and permission settings.

  5. 05

    Run one low-risk test task before connecting sensitive files, repositories, or workspace data.

Working standard

What good use looks like.

  • Use official download pages.
  • Review permissions during setup.
  • Keep installers and applications updated.

Phidata is the former name; current code and documentation use Agno and AgentOS, and older tutorials may reference removed or deprecated APIs. Persistent sessions, memory, knowledge, traces, callable caches, teams, and tools create privacy and cross-user risks. Bind state to authenticated identities, authorize tools independently, use narrow roles and approvals, pin versions, redact logs, cap loops and cost, and test migrations and deletion.
