Hi folks! My 2nd Medium article is live: https://medium.com/@vadim.briliantov/how-to-design-a-flexible-graph-based-strategy-in-koog-52b1fb24802d It covers the theoretical and practical aspects of the s*trategy creation* and graph architecture. In the next articles I’ll be covering building multiplatform applications, non-graph strategies, fault-tolerance and deploying agents, observability with popular tools — and cost-optimizing your AI applications! Feel free to follow if you don’t want to miss things out 🙂

@Vadim Briliantov what happened to your reddit account?!
v
@Michael Wills it was banned Probably I should write another article about that 😆 Here are the instructions how to get your Reddit account banned, it’s really easy: 1. Create a new account 2. Repost a Medium article about official Kotlin framework in r/Kotlin — with a link to Medium 3. Write a reply to the a user with links to 3 official JetBrains resources: https://github.com/JetBrains/koog , https://docs.koog.ai/ and https://blog.jetbrains.com/ai/2025/07/when-tool-calling-becomes-an-addiction-debugging-llm-patterns-in-koog/ 4. Write a few more reply to some older Koog-related post in r/Kotlin with a link to some part of the docs ( https://docs.koog.ai/) 5. Bingo 🎉 — you have your account permanently banned from the whole Reddit (not from the community) with no instructions in your inbox explaining how to fix that

I have to say I'm speechless. I hope someone there sees it and can at least point to a reason why...

Fortunately your teammate posted.....!

Yeah, I know. But without any links this time) Some people have a theory that Reddit and Medium might be competing and not favoring references to each other… but it’s just an assumption
Hmm… but at the same time, there’s https://www.reddit.com/r/Medium/ where people share posts… Whatever. maybe Reddit just doesn’t favor new users posting things 🙂

Perhaps it's automated without respect to the actual content. I have to wonder. I have all of the notifications on but if you or someone posts links in #C0922A726 that would be wonderful or in #C8CFFCVAB. I see the first one
One idea for your consideration is comparing koog with embabel, and if/how the two might be complementary.
v
@Michael Wills sorry for tagging you, but this one is even more funny! The second post from the r/Kotlin admin (my colleague) about Koog got flagged as…. “POTENTIAL HARASSMENT” laugh cry face palm
m
Wha...?! I mean... this is getting conspiracy theory level!
Oh wait... what if it's an LLM gone haywire and they need to adopt koog to clean up their workflows with validated sentiments... I'm being silly of course... mostly.... 😅 Otherwise how does this get flagged... and as harassment?!

It’s clearly getting strange , I agree with you)

@Vadim Briliantov love the article. I believe there is a typo in your final code block where you have both branches of the graph forwarding to selectIngredients. Unless I'm missing something
v
@Gabriel Duncan Thanks so much for catching that! I really appreciate you taking the time to read. Fixed and re-published now 🙂

@Vadim Briliantov one thing that would be cool for me is to see koog vs ADK vs langchain4j. Especially if you could highlight what it does better or what it can do that the others can't

Noted, thanks! We have some plans around making comparisons with other frameworks (most of which are obviously in Python), it’s in progress

Anything other than koog that is kotlin multiplatform native? The semantics/design plus that are up there for me 😄
I think embabel is kotlin native?
oh, no, mistaken. It is for targeting the JVM.
v
In the Kotlin Multiplatform space, Koog is the only serious choice I’m aware of (apart from some small indie projects). But for the JVM there’s clearly much more competition. While I still believe that Koog is the most advanced option, it’s really exciting to see the competition there and it’s definitely driving things forward also for us and for the JVM as the platform for AI.

I am curious if there might eventually be a Jetbrains' take on the BMAD Method https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD or the recent Github release of Spec Kit https://github.com/github/spec-kit
That's only tangentially related 😅
