“It ships a CodeAgent and a WebAgent, so you can now be disappointed by two specialists instead of one generalist.”

Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | AgentDock | Promptulate | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 5.8 | 6.0 | Promptulate — Pick Promptulate to get an agent working this afternoon; pick a framework with its own model layer if the thing you build is going to be maintained for a year. |
| El Crítico | 5.5 | 5.0 | 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 | 6.5 | no preference |
| La Inversora | 5.3 | 5.5 | Promptulate — 512 stars, a permissive licence and a research-lab author, with no entity, no tier and no revenue line: this is published work, not a company. |
| La Jefa | 4.8 | 5.0 | Promptulate — Nothing to license across sixty engineers, and the bundled prototyping components are the actual risk, because prototypes reach production faster than anyone plans for. |
| El Hacker | 6.8 | 7.0 | Promptulate — Apache-2.0, one package install, and a local model is reached with the same call as a hosted one by naming the runtime in the model string. No protocol client, though. |
