Why does GROX publish these?

Because the honest version of a category page is a definition, not a pitch. Most people meeting the phrase “AI agent” are trying to work out what it means and whether it applies to them — and that question deserves an answer that stays useful even if they choose something else entirely.

So each piece is written to be read on its own. Where GROX is mentioned it is only to state something already stated on the product page; nothing here is a claim invented for this page. Where a trade-off is real, it is named, including the cases where the simpler tool is the better choice.
