alook vs agent-orchestrator

alook: Alook puts people and AI agents in the same rooms. Local coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and Pi get persistent identities with a handle, inbox and memberships, so a team can reach them in servers, channels and DMs while the agents keep running on their owner's machine.; agent-orchestrator: Orchestrator.inc (agent-orchestrator) is a local desktop workspace for running a fleet of coding agents, where every task gets its own agent, branch and worktree. A main agent plans the work and starts workers, failed CI checks and review comments are routed back to the owning worker, and sessions sort onto a board by PR, CI and review state.
