Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | EvoAgentX | PI from Scratch | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.5 | 4.3 | EvoAgentX — Pick EvoAgentX if you are a researcher or developer building self-improving, multi-agent systems and need a framework to automate workflow creation and evaluation. |
| El Crítico | 6.0 | 5.0 | EvoAgentX — EvoAgentX is a framework for researchers building self-evolving agent workflows, but it cannot edit multiple files or perform Git operations. |
| El Profesor | 3.8 | 3.3 | EvoAgentX — EvoAgentX is a framework for researchers studying agentic workflows, focusing on automated workflow construction and evolution rather than code editing. |
| La Inversora | 3.5 | 6.5 | PI from Scratch — This is a well-executed open-source tutorial, not a company; it's a portfolio piece for its creator, not a foundation for a business. |
| La Jefa | 4.8 | 3.3 | EvoAgentX — EvoAgentX is an open-source framework, not a managed service, and therefore lacks the enterprise features required for direct procurement. |
| El Hacker | 7.5 | 8.0 | PI from Scratch — PI from Scratch is an MIT-licensed tutorial, not a production tool, but it's the right way to learn how an agent works from the metal up. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
