Show HN: Adam – An embeddable cross-platform AI agent library

It's a neat product, but I am also a bit confused by the choice to use C as the primary language. I would think you'd want something more ergonomic since this is entirely I/O bound.

I'm 100% on board with using C for the rag or sqlite sync solutions, but the agent itself seems like it would be much easier to write in another language and build on those tools. Even something like go would be much easier to adopt.

Jetbrains maintain a kotlin based ADK - https://github.com/JetBrains/koog

Since it's written using kotlin multiplatform it's compilable to js/wasm/ios/android or any platform of choice.

Worth checking out.

Cool but why would anyone write an agent in C? Since the language is verbose it seems to be a painful choice to use C for this task.

They have named themselves sqliteai and are releasing a library called adam. this is just advanced seo. seems neat though

For anyone in AI, this reads like someone starting a new company called Google

i built a similar project named boxlite (embeddable micro-VM) and agentlite (agent in boxlite). i like your idea

nice work.
