Magica runs an autonomous agent with a browser and a computer, more than five thousand tools, connectors, and apps on iPhone and Android. If your job is answering a letter you have to sign, this is the difference that matters. People looking for a Magica alternative should choose by the task, not by a feature count.

## Where Swirl wins

- Swirl keeps a case file. The letter, the date, the reference and the reply stay together, and the next letter from the same sender joins them.
- Swirl is built for a document that arrives with a date on it: quote the clause, name the deadline, draft the reply.
- Swirl checks the draft before it goes out, so the reply reads like you rather than like a machine.
