Cheshire Cat AI
Open-source framework for building production AI agents with memory, plugins, and a built-in admin UI — the batteries-included alternative to wiring LangChain together yourself.

⚙ Full Stack
Python (FastAPI) backend with Qdrant for vector memory storage, a plugin system for tool/agent extensions, and a bundled admin web UI. Ships as a single container with Qdrant as the one required external dependency.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Scales similarly to other agent-framework apps: stateless API layer in front of Qdrant, so horizontal scaling of the app tier is straightforward. Memory/conversation state lives in Qdrant, not in-process, which avoids the single-node bottleneck many AI chat tools have.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Two pods: cheshire-cat app + qdrant.pod:6333 for vector storage. LLM provider keys are set as env vars server-side (not baked into a client bundle), which is better than many AI-app-builder peers in this category.
