⚠️ MIGRATION GUIDE

Migrate from Frontier AgentMolt in 5 Minutes

OpenAI Frontier locks you into one provider, takes weeks to deploy, and charges enterprise pricing. You don't need that. Switch in 5 minutes, keep everything working.

😤 Why Teams Are Already Leaving Frontier

OpenAI-Only Lock-in

Frontier only manages OpenAI agents. Using Claude, Gemini, or open-source models? You're out of luck.

Enterprise Sales Process

"Contact sales" means weeks of calls. AgentMolt: pip install, dashboard in 2 minutes.

No Kill Switch

Frontier monitors agents but can't instantly terminate a runaway. AgentMolt kills in <100ms.

Black Box Pricing

No public pricing. No free tier. AgentMolt: free for up to 5 agents, transparent tiers after.

Slow Setup

Frontier requires "integration workshops." AgentMolt wraps your existing code with a decorator.

No MCP Support

Frontier doesn't intercept MCP tool calls. AgentMolt is MCP-native — gate, monitor, and kill tool connections.

⏱️ 5-Minute Migration Timeline

0:00 — 0:30

Install AgentMolt SDK

One command. No enterprise onboarding required.

pip install agentcontrol

0:30 — 2:00

Replace Frontier Wrapper with @monitor

Swap out the Frontier SDK decorator. Your agent logic stays identical.

          # Before (Frontier)

          from openai.frontier import managed_agent

          @managed_agent(project="my-project")

          # After (AgentMolt)

          from agentcontrol import monitor

          @monitor(name="my-agent", budget=50)

          def my_agent(task):

              # Your agent code — unchanged

              return agent.run(task)

2:00 — 3:00

Set Your API Key

One environment variable. Works in Docker, K8s, anywhere.

export AGENTMOLT_API_KEY="am_..."

3:00 — 5:00

Run Your Agents — Dashboard Is Live

Start your agents. The AgentMolt dashboard shows them immediately. Kill switches, budgets, and alerts all active.

❓ Migration FAQ

Do I need to change my agent code?

No. You only change the monitoring decorator. Your agent logic, prompts, and tool calls stay exactly the same.

Can I run AgentMolt alongside Frontier during migration?

Yes. Both can monitor simultaneously. Switch over when you're confident, then remove the Frontier SDK.

What about my Frontier dashboards and historical data?

AgentMolt can import Frontier logs via CSV export. Your historical data transfers cleanly.

I use CrewAI/LangChain, not raw OpenAI. Does this matter?

Not at all — that's the whole point. Frontier doesn't support those frameworks. AgentMolt works with all of them natively.

Is there a cost to migrate?

Zero. Free tier covers up to 5 agents. Most teams migrate and stay on free for months.
