Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | AgentDock | eve | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 5.8 | 6.0 | eve — Pick it if you want an assistant that lives in a repository and answers in Slack; pick Mastra when you need a framework that will actually reach into your codebase. |
| El Crítico | 5.5 | 4.8 | AgentDock — The core is not published as a versioned package, so installing it means cloning a repository and pinning a commit, and the README carries a beta badge. |
| El Profesor | 6.5 | 6.0 | AgentDock — The orchestration layer varies which tools are exposed as the conversation progresses, which treats the tool set as state rather than as a fixed constant. |
| La Inversora | 5.3 | 6.0 | eve — 4,971 stars in three months from a company whose inference routing service supplies the model identifiers, which makes the open framework a very well-built funnel. |
| La Jefa | 4.8 | 5.5 | eve — Nothing to buy for sixty engineers, and the spend arrives metered through a routing service, while messaging channels and schedules make this an internal bot platform. |
| El Hacker | 6.8 | 6.3 | AgentDock — MIT and provider-independent through a registry I can extend, but MCP is on the roadmap rather than in the code, so my existing servers stay outside. |
