Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | AgentConnect | AutoGPT | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.8 | 5.8 | AgentConnect — AgentConnect is for teams that want to build and manage a fleet of collaborative agents inside their existing chat and Git workflows. |
| El Crítico | 6.3 | 5.3 | AgentConnect — A platform for multi-agent collaboration that lacks file editing and shell access, limiting its agents to chat and git operations. |
| El Profesor | 4.5 | 5.5 | AutoGPT — Four documented surfaces, AutoPilot, Agents, Build and Marketplace, and one benchmark tool, agbenchmark, which ships with the original agent's code rather than with the platform being sold. |
| La Inversora | 5.5 | 5.8 | AutoGPT — Significant Gravitas pivoted from the agent that started the category to a workflow platform priced at $42.50 and $272 a month, billed annually, with credits on top. |
| La Jefa | 3.5 | 4.8 | AutoGPT — Sixty seats need the Team tier with admin roles and centralized billing, and that tier is marked coming soon, so today it is sixty individual subscriptions and a credit wallet. |
| El Hacker | 5.5 | 6.0 | AutoGPT — Polyform Shield on the platform folder forbids selling it as a competing hosted service, the classic agent stays MIT, MCP is a canvas block rather than a file I version, and self-hosting with local Llama works. |
