#09 Max: The Real-Deal Open-Source Stack for Building Powerful AI Agents

Tired of AI agent tutorials that lead to dead-end GitHub repos and frustratingly complex setups? 🤯 We're cutting through the noise to reveal the battle-tested, open-source stack that serious developers actually use to build and ship powerful AI agents.

We’ll talk about:

• A curated list of the best open-source tools for every stage of AI agent development, from frameworks to memory.
• Top frameworks for orchestrating agents like CrewAI, Phidata, and the foundational libraries LangChain & LlamaIndex.
• Giving your agent "hands and eyes" with tools like Open Interpreter for local code execution and Playwright for browser automation.
• The best-in-class open-source stack for voice capabilities (Ultravox, Whisper), document understanding (Qwen2-VL), and agent memory (Mem0, Letta).
