Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | BabyAGI | Flowise | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 2.8 | 3.8 | Flowise — Do not adopt: the project is being sunset, and anyone who wanted a visual builder for LLM applications should be looking at Dify instead. |
| El Crítico | 3.3 | 3.3 | no preference |
| El Profesor | 2.5 | 4.0 | Flowise — The architecture is a canvas over a library of third-party connectors, and that library is precisely the component that ends projects of this shape. |
| La Inversora | 3.8 | 3.8 | no preference |
| La Jefa | 2.8 | 3.3 | Flowise — If we run it, this becomes a migration project with a deadline; if we do not, there is nothing to evaluate, and either way the answer is the same. |
| El Hacker | 4.8 | 5.3 | Flowise — Apache-2.0 and npm install -g flowise still works, so a fork is legal and complete, and whoever starts one inherits the whole connector library. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
