Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Flowise | GenericAgent | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 3.8 | 5.5 | GenericAgent — GenericAgent is a powerful framework for agent research, but its direct control over your system without a sandbox makes it too risky for daily development work. |
| El Crítico | 3.3 | 5.8 | GenericAgent — This agent gets full system control without a sandbox, making every mistake a potential security incident. |
| El Profesor | 4.0 | 5.0 | GenericAgent — GenericAgent's design prioritizes local execution and emergent capabilities, but its lack of sandboxing presents a considerable operational risk. |
| La Inversora | 3.8 | 3.8 | no preference |
| La Jefa | 3.3 | 2.0 | 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 | 5.3 | 4.5 | 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. |
