Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | AutoGPT | OpenHuman | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 5.8 | 5.5 | AutoGPT — Pick AutoGPT if the job is a scheduled workflow across Gmail, Slack and Jira built in a block editor; pick goose or Claude Code if the job is code, because this one never touches a file. |
| El Crítico | 5.3 | 4.8 | AutoGPT — 187,000 stars were earned by a 2023 agent that now lives in a classic folder, while the product on the landing page is a workflow builder with no shell and MCP reduced to a block. |
| El Profesor | 5.5 | 6.0 | OpenHuman — Memory is compressed into Markdown trees held in SQLite, and sub-agent fleets execute on checkpointed graphs, so both retention and resumption are explicit mechanisms rather than prompt tricks. |
| La Inversora | 5.8 | 5.3 | 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 | 4.8 | 3.8 | 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 | 6.0 | 7.8 | OpenHuman — GPL-3.0 means a fork stays open, it takes a local Ollama endpoint, it speaks MCP as a client, and there is no published install command, so I clone it anyway. |
