Hi — I curate StackMap, a hand-curated knowledge graph of open-source AI/agent tools. Every entry is human-reviewed: a summary, an opinionated note on when to use it (and when not), and typed edges to what it pairs with or competes against — with the why written down.
core earned a place on the map:
How we mapped it:
- alternative to
paperclip — Both are the layer ABOVE agent frameworks rather than a framework themselves, and both spawn coding-agent sessions — but CORE is a personal, memory-driven, always-on assistant while paperclip manages fleets of agents as a team/company. Pick CORE for a personal AI OS, paperclip for multi-agent org governance.
If any of this misrepresents the project — an edge you'd dispute, a sharper "when NOT to use" — reply here and a human fixes it. And feel free to just close this issue; it's only a heads-up.
