Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Adam | AG2 | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.3 | 6.5 | AG2 — Pick AG2 if you want Python agents that call your own functions through a decorator; pick AutoGen if you would rather stay with the original and its research group. |
| El Crítico | 5.8 | 6.0 | AG2 — v1.0 is not a drop-in upgrade, and the older code base continues as a separate ag2-classic package, so this project ships two things under one name. |
| El Profesor | 6.3 | 6.0 | Adam — No evaluation accompanies the library and none is claimed, so the design is read on its own terms: sessions and memory as persisted state, structured output as the checkable surface. |
| La Inversora | 5.5 | 4.8 | Adam — A database company wrote a free agent library with no paid tier, which makes it distribution for the thing SQLite AI actually sells rather than a business of its own. |
| La Jefa | 4.8 | 5.8 | AG2 — Nothing to buy for sixty seats and it runs headless in the CI we already have, but there is no console, no audit trail and no support contract on offer. |
| El Hacker | 7.3 | 7.3 | no preference |
