Compare First-Tree
First-Tree isn't a competing agent framework — it's the platform a team runs agents on: shared chat threads, GitHub as the work queue, and a context tree every agent reads. These honest comparisons show where First-Tree sits next to popular tools, and why they work better together. More comparisons are on the way.
