Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | agentUniverse | Eko | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.5 | 6.8 | Eko — Pick it if the work you want automated happens in a browser and your team writes JavaScript; pick Browser Use when you would rather do the same thing in Python. |
| El Crítico | 5.8 | 6.0 | Eko — Running inside a browser extension places an agent beside every logged-in session the user holds, and a plan generated by a model is a plan nobody reviewed. |
| El Profesor | 6.5 | 6.3 | agentUniverse — PEER splits work across Plan, Execute, Express and Review with feedback iteration; DOE chains Data-fining, Opinion-inject and Express; neither carries a published evaluation. |
| La Inversora | 6.0 | 5.8 | agentUniverse — Ant Group open-sourced a framework from its own financial production work, which makes the roadmap a function of Ant's needs rather than any user's. |
| La Jefa | 6.0 | 6.0 | no preference |
| El Hacker | 7.8 | 8.0 | Eko — MIT, one package install, native tool-server loading, and a custom base URL on the provider config so my own endpoint is just another model. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
