Hoook vs Sintra
Local-first marketing orchestrator vs cloud AI marketers ("Helpers")
Sintra ships pre-built "AI Helpers" — fixed personas like Cassie (sales) or Buddy (assistant). Hoook lets you install Claude Skills and bring your own agents (Claude Code, Ollama, etc.) — composable, local-first, model-agnostic.
