Open-Source Visual Canvas: Estimate Agent Workflow Cost and Latency Before Building
Super-Season-1742 · reddit · 2026-08-07
When building multi-agent workflows, developers often only discover high running costs or changing economics after writing the code and swapping underlying models. Additionally, migrating between frameworks like LangGraph and CrewAI requires rewrites.
To solve this, the author developed an open-source visual canvas. Users can map agent nodes, assign a model per node, and see cost and latency estimates before running. The tool also supports exporting the designed graph directly to LangGraph, CrewAI, or the OpenAI Agents SDK.
