Hoofy vs holaOS

Hoofy: Hoofy is an MCP server that solves memory loss, hallucinated implementations, and unstructured AI workflows. It provides persistent context across sessions, spec-driven development pipelines, and adaptive change management for any MCP-compatible AI tool. Built in Go, it runs as a single binary with zero dependencies.; holaOS: holaOS is an agent environment built for long-horizon work, continuity, and self-evolution. It provides agents with a structured operating system including runtime, memory, tools, apps, and durable state, enabling them to operate continuously, evolve over time, and remain inspectable across different runs.
