Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Agno-Go | ChatDev | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 5.5 | 5.8 | ChatDev — Pick ChatDev to watch role-playing agents build a small program from nothing; pick OpenHands the moment the code already exists and has users. |
| El Crítico | 4.8 | 5.8 | ChatDev — Version 2.0 turned a research project into a zero-code console and pushed the classic line to a legacy branch, so the version every paper describes is now the old one. |
| El Profesor | 6.0 | 4.8 | Agno-Go — Teams carry four coordination modes and workflows five primitives, which is a closed vocabulary rather than an open-ended prompt convention, and closed vocabularies are analysable. |
| La Inversora | 4.8 | 5.5 | ChatDev — OpenBMB is a research organisation, and 34,000 stars of academic distribution is influence with no invoice attached anywhere in it. |
| La Jefa | 5.0 | 4.8 | Agno-Go — Free across sixty desks, and the health-check endpoint and session storage are the only two things in this row my platform team would recognise as operable. |
| El Hacker | 6.8 | 5.8 | Agno-Go — Apache-2.0, `go get`, MCP servers attach as tools, and Ollama and LM Studio are listed providers, so the whole stack runs on hardware I already paid for. |
