How to Migrate from Agno to Ceven
Agno is a high-performance Python framework for building, deploying, and running AI agents and multi-agent teams.
Ceven is an AI workflow automation platform that connects to 1,000+ tools, runs end-to-end workflows on a schedule with AI steps and human-approval gates, and can build and host no-code pages/apps.
Migrate from Agno to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory your AI workflows
List all the AI agents and workflows you have built in Agno, focusing on the outcomes they produce. This will help you understand what needs to be rebuilt in Ceven.
Connect the same apps in Ceven
Identify the tools and services your Agno agents interact with and connect them to Ceven. This ensures that your new workflows can communicate with the same systems.
Describe the outcomes to rebuild
Instead of recreating each Agno workflow one-for-one, describe the desired outcomes in Ceven. This allows you to build more efficient and capable workflows.
Add AI steps and approval gates
Enhance your Ceven workflows by adding AI steps where appropriate, and include human-approval gates to prevent errors and ensure data quality, especially on writes to systems of record.
Validate in parallel
Run your Agno and Ceven workflows side by side on real data to ensure that the new workflows in Ceven produce the expected results. Use human-approval gates on writes to systems of record during this phase.
Schedule and cut over
Once you're confident that your Ceven workflows are working as expected, schedule the final cutover. Monitor the workflows closely after the switch to ensure a smooth transition.
Why teams switch from Agno to Ceven
Teams often switch from Agno to Ceven for enhanced workflow automation capabilities. Ceven offers a more intuitive, visual interface for building and managing workflows, making it easier for non-developers to participate. Additionally, Ceven's AI steps and human-approval gates provide more robust error handling and data quality control, which can be crucial for mission-critical workflows. Ceven also provides a more seamless integration with a wide range of tools and services, reducing the need for custom integrations.
Ceven's ability to build and host no-code pages and apps can also be a significant draw, allowing teams to create custom interfaces and applications without extensive development resources. Ceven's scheduling and automation capabilities ensure that workflows run on time, every time, further enhancing operational efficiency.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from Agno to Ceven, it's important to understand that there is no automatic import of AI agents or workflows. You will need to rebuild your workflows in Ceven, focusing on the outcomes rather than recreating each step one-for-one. This can actually be an advantage, as it allows you to consolidate and optimize your workflows.
Your connected apps and services will need to be re-authorized in Ceven, ensuring that your new workflows can communicate with the same systems. However, the actual AI models and agents built in Agno will not transfer over. You will need to rebuild these in Ceven or use Ceven's AI steps to achieve similar outcomes. Any custom code or scripts used in Agno will also need to be re-implemented in Ceven.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One of the most common pitfalls in migrating from Agno to Ceven is trying to replicate each workflow one-for-one. Instead, focus on the outcomes and rebuild your workflows in a more efficient and capable manner. This can help you take full advantage of Ceven's features and capabilities.
Another common mistake is not validating your new workflows in parallel with your existing Agno workflows. Running both systems side by side on real data ensures that your new workflows in Ceven produce the expected results before you make the final cutover. Additionally, be sure to add human-approval gates on writes to systems of record during this validation phase to prevent data loss or corruption. Always be sure to monitor your workflows closely after the switch to ensure a smooth transition.
Frequently asked
Can Ceven automatically import my AI agents and workflows from Agno?
No, Ceven does not support automatic import of AI agents or workflows from Agno. You will need to rebuild your workflows in Ceven, focusing on the desired outcomes. This process often results in more efficient and capable workflows.
Will I need to re-authorize my connected apps in Ceven?
Yes, you will need to re-authorize your connected apps and services in Ceven to ensure that your new workflows can communicate with the same systems. This is a necessary step in the migration process.
How can I ensure a smooth transition from Agno to Ceven?
To ensure a smooth transition, run your Agno and Ceven workflows side by side on real data and use human-approval gates on writes to systems of record. Once you're confident that your Ceven workflows are working as expected, schedule the final cutover and monitor the workflows closely to ensure a successful migration.
