Which AI Agent is your favorite?

I've created a directory for AI agents, and I'm curious about which ones are the most popular and frequently used. Have you started using AI agents to assist with your daily tasks? Which AI agent is your favorite?

    With sufficient context, I find pretty much any of the modern ones to be sufficient. If you spend the time to write the prompt, they work pretty well. I use Claude at work to automate some of my more common tasks. But I find that using a basic model to help me develop python code that does the same thing is actually faster.

    In the cases where I actually rely on something to solve a niche problem, all of them suck.

    I don't know how AI agent can help a developer in daily life who like to do everything with his own hands.When ever I use more AI I feel something is missing. I don't know it happens with anyone else but yaa for me it's true.

    Cline + Claude Sonnet 3.7 is my favorite for development tasks. Gemini 2.5 pro is the one I use for general purpose use.
