kiln vs Peekaboo

kiln: Kiln enables coding agents to build and revise 3D assets by writing JavaScript programs that utilize its geometry and material helpers. It runs these programs, provides rendered views and structural checks for agent review, and allows exporting assets as GLB files for downstream use.; Peekaboo: Peekaboo is a macOS native CLI and menu-bar application designed for screen capture, accessibility inspection, and UI automation. It allows users to programmatically observe the screen, interact with UI elements, and automate multi-step workflows, either directly via CLI or through an agent and MCP clients.
