# autogen vs Stirling-PDF

autogen and Stirling-PDF share 3 technologies: React, FastAPI, and Postgres. autogen is written in Python and Stirling-PDF in TypeScript.

- [microsoft/autogen](https://seerepo.com/r/microsoft/autogen): A programming framework for agentic AI
- [Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF](https://seerepo.com/r/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF): #1 PDF Application on GitHub that lets you edit PDFs on any device anywhere

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: React, FastAPI, Postgres
- Only in autogen: Gatsby, OpenAI, Google
- Only in Stirling-PDF: Vite, Spring, Supabase, Stripe, AWS S3, PostHog

## Side by side

| | autogen | Stirling-PDF |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 186,415 lines written, 763 code files | 1,114,394 lines written, 4,302 code files |
| Who writes it | 0.9% of its commits signed by AI. With GitHub Copilot and Claude Code | 2.1% of its commits signed by AI. With GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex |
| Activity | Last push October 16, 2026, 3,664 commits, 61,590 stars | Last push October 29, 2026, 5,694 commits, 95,274 stars |
| Tests | 231 test files. 21% of its code files have a test that imports them | 2,014 test files. 48.3% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
