“Billed as a personal agent that does live web research, which is the most expensive way yet devised to open a browser tab.”

Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Agentara | Agenvoy | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.3 | 6.0 | Agentara — Pick Agentara if you want an agent that keeps working after you close the laptop; pick a plain Claude Code session if you are at the keyboard anyway. |
| El Crítico | 5.5 | 5.3 | Agentara — Queued tasks are dispatched serially per session and nothing documented detects a session that has stopped making progress, so one wedged run stalls its queue. |
| El Profesor | 6.3 | 5.5 | Agentara — Sessions persist as JSONL carrying the full message history, which makes a run reconstructible after the fact; the reasoning loop belongs to the delegated CLI. |
| La Inversora | 5.5 | 5.5 | no preference |
| La Jefa | 4.8 | 5.3 | Agenvoy — The only documented install is a script piped into a shell from a vendor domain, which is where sixty seats and my security questionnaire part company. |
| El Hacker | 6.5 | 7.0 | Agenvoy — Apache-2.0, one Go binary, MCP client and server in the same process, and the tool library it builds stays reachable from Claude Code and Codex rather than trapped inside it. |
