Choose LettaBot if
- this will serve teammates, workspaces, or shared operations
- you specifically need existing lettabot users maintaining legacy deployments
- you specifically need studying the architecture of a multi-channel agent before migrating to letta code channels
Neither if
Nothing in the current evidence rules both of them out.
Choose PicoClaw if
- you want lower day-two risk and fewer hardening surprises
- you want to keep more of the workflow local or optional-cloud
- you depend on integrations, skills, or extension headroom
