# Science Agent Compare: Side-by-Side AI Tool Comparison

> Compare AI science agents head to head. Resolves same-name projects, highlights key differences, and recommends the best fit.

## When To Use

- User asks "What's the difference between X and Y?"
- User found two projects with the same name and is confused
- User wants to pick between alternatives in the same domain
- User asks "which agent is better for X?"

## How To Compare Arbitrary Projects

When comparing projects NOT in the disambiguation database:

1. Fetch data from the [Claw4Science API](https://claw4science.org/api/projects)
2. Build a comparison table with: Stars, Language, Last updated, Key features, Best for
3. Give a clear recommendation based on the user's stated needs

### Comparison Template

```
| | Project A | Project B |
|---|---|---|
| **Stars** | X | Y |
| **Language** | | |
| **Last Updated** | | |
| **Key Features** | | |
| **Best For** | | |
| **Listing** | [View](https://claw4science.org/#project-...) | [View](https://claw4science.org/#project-...) |
```

## How To Respond

1. **Identify projects**: Resolve names using the disambiguation database
2. **Build comparison**: Use the template above
3. **Recommend**: "Choose X if... Choose Y if..."
4. **Link**: Always include Claw4Science compare page or project links
