# Best Rust AI agents

> The open-source AI agents written in Rust, from the Agent Search Engine index — ranked by real maintained adoption (GitHub stars and recent commit activity), never by sponsorship. Every project here is Rust-first, self-hostable, and free to run; the trade-off is you host and maintain it yourself.

Right now it's led by openinterpreter (68k stars), with goose and jcode close behind. Rankings shift as projects gain stars and ship commits.

## FAQ

**What are the best Rust AI agents?**
The Rust projects listed below, ranked by maintained adoption — GitHub stars plus recent commit activity — so you see what's genuinely used and still maintained, not abandoned.

**Are these Rust AI agents open source and free?**
Yes — every project on this page is open source and written primarily in Rust. The software is free to run and self-host; you still pay for the infrastructure you run it on and any model or API usage it makes.

**Why choose Rust AI agents specifically?**
Staying in your team's primary language — Rust — makes self-hosting, extending, and debugging far easier, because you can read and modify the source directly instead of treating it as a black box.
