OpenClaw's 380,000 stars put it more than twice ahead of every other open-source agent

Twenty open-source AI agent projects and agent-building frameworks, ranked by reported GitHub star count from live web research on 2026-08-28. Stars are approximate point-in-time figures reported by current web sources and can change quickly; the boundary between an "agent" and an "agent framework or platform" is fuzzy, so read the categories as a guide, not a taxonomy.

Coding agents are the largest group — 8 of the 20 projects — led by OpenCode at 172,000 stars, with the terminal pair-programmer Aider closing the list at 47,000. essamamdani.com

Agent frameworks and platforms cluster tightly: Langflow, Dify, LangChain, RAGFlow and Flowise all sit between 51,582 and 146,595 stars, a far narrower spread than the general agents above them. fungies.io

Browser-Use is the only browser agent on the list, yet at 86,164 stars it outranks every multi-agent framework, including Microsoft's AutoGen and CrewAI. dev.to

Detail is unevenly reported: a license was resolved for only 5 of the 20 projects, and OpenCode's repository could not be resolved at all — unresolved fields are shown as unresolved, not guessed. essamamdani.com

Reported GitHub star counts for 20 open-source AI agent projects and frameworks, one row per project, gathered by live web research on 2026-08-28. Stars measure repository stargazers as reported by the cited pages at that moment; they are approximate and move quickly. Category labels follow the sources and the agent-versus-framework boundary is fuzzy. Repository and license fields left unresolved by the sources are shown as unresolved. Long descriptions were shortened for the table; full descriptions appear on hover in the chart.
