holaOS vs patchwork-os

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.; patchwork-os: Patchwork OS is a local-first personal AI runtime with pluggable model providers, hot-reloadable tools, YAML recipes, a delegation policy with approval queue, and durable trace memory. It runs entirely on your machine under your control, with no telemetry. The same codebase ships two modes: a Claude IDE Bridge for editor integration, and the full Patchwork OS with automation, oversight, and multi-model support.
