What's Good
MIT. Electron IDE for prompt chains/agents plus @ironclad/rivet-core / rivet-node to run .rivet graphs in Node. External Call nodes bridge your app code. Distinct Ironclad product — not Rivet game engines or unrelated Rivets.
The Catch
Vs LangGraph (code-first graphs) and Mastra/VoltAgent (TS frameworks): Rivet is visual-graph IDE + embed library, not a coding CLI and not LangChain. Graph quality still depends on your prompts/providers; External Calls need a host app + remote debugger. Desktop-first workflow.
Verdict
MIT Ironclad agent-graph IDE. Visual first; embed with rivet-node.
