How to choose
Prioritize agents whose core loop is generation (video or text) rather than editing or analysis. Check GitHub activity and dependency count—some require ComfyUI or local LLMs that add setup time. Test output quality on your domain first; taste and humanizer skills can be chained but need fine-tuning. Avoid assuming zero cost: self-hosting GPUs and maintaining forks are common hidden expenses.
