Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | Orca | Qwen Audio Agent | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 7.0 | 6.3 | Orca — Pick Orca if you run Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Gemini, Goose or Hermes and want to watch them from your phone; pick Agent Orchestrator if you want a planner over the board. |
| El Crítico | 5.3 | 7.5 | Qwen Audio Agent — This is a voice harness, not an agent; it connects to other agents but does not execute tasks itself. |
| El Profesor | 6.0 | 5.5 | Orca — Design Mode sends a clicked element's HTML, CSS and a cropped screenshot into the prompt; SSH remote worktrees run agents on another box; no benchmark is published. |
| La Inversora | 5.5 | 6.5 | Qwen Audio Agent — This is a distribution play for Alibaba's models, not a standalone business; use it, but recognize its strategic purpose. |
| La Jefa | 6.0 | 3.5 | Orca — Anonymous usage data is collected with an opt-out, there is no SSO, no plan and no vendor contact beyond a GitHub repo; approved with conditions as a personal tool. |
| El Hacker | 7.8 | 8.0 | Qwen Audio Agent — A solid, Apache-2.0 licensed voice runtime for agents that you can run locally and point at your own models. |
