Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Autohand Code CLI | oli | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.3 | 5.3 | Autohand Code CLI — Pick it if you like typing at one prompt and want plans before edits; pick Claude Code if you want the ecosystem everyone else is already writing tips about. |
| El Crítico | 5.0 | 5.0 | no preference |
| El Profesor | 5.8 | 6.3 | oli — The agent loop, tool execution and provider calls live in a compiled backend addressed over JSON-RPC, so the interface is a client rather than the program. |
| La Inversora | 5.3 | 4.8 | Autohand Code CLI — 184 stars, a company domain with a product page, and a permissive giveaway with no paid edition anywhere near it, which is a distribution play with no second act written yet. |
| La Jefa | 5.5 | 4.0 | Autohand Code CLI — Nothing per seat for sixty engineers, it runs headless in our pipelines, and there is no console, no audit log and no directory integration. |
| El Hacker | 5.5 | 7.0 | oli — Apache-2.0, and local models with function calling are supported for full tool use rather than chat only, with Qwen 2.5 Coder named as one that actually works. |
