Show HN: Jido 2.0, Elixir Agent Framework

Hi HN!

I'm the author of an Elixir Agent Framework called Jido. We reached our 2.0 release this week, shipping a production-hardened framework to build, manage and run Agents on the BEAM.

Jido now supports a host of Agentic features, including:

- Tool Calling and Agent Skills - Comprehensive multi-agent support across distributed BEAM processes with Supervision - Multiple reasoning strategies including ReAct, Chain of Thought, Tree of Thought, and more - Advanced workflow capabilities - Durability through a robust Storage and Persistence layer - Agentic Memory - MCP and Sensors to interface with external services - Deep observability and debugging capabilities, including full stack OTel

I know Agent Frameworks can be considered a bit stale, but there hasn't been a major release of a framework on the BEAM. With a growing realization that the architecture of the BEAM is a good match for Agentic workloads, the time was right to make the announcement.

My background is enterprise engineering, distributed systems and Open Source. We've got a strong and growing community of builders committed to the Jido ecosystem. We're looking forward to what gets built on top of Jido!

Come build agents with us!

We have a full dashboard called `jido_studio` that will be available soon that helps visualize it.

Agents, when wrapped with an AgentRuntime, are typically a single GenServer process. There are some exceptions if you need a larger topology.

I was curious about the actual BEAM processes though, that you see via the observer application in Erlang/Elixir.

I haven't used Jido for anything yet, but it's one of those projects I check in on once a month or so. BEAM does seem like a perfect fit for an agent framework, but the ecosystem seeming limited has held me back from going too far down that path. Excited to see 2.0!

Just a heads up, some of your code samples seem to be having an issue with entity escaping.

Where does this stand in relation to LangChain? https://github.com/brainlid/langchain

(Probably complimentary but wanted to check)
