## ⚔️ Steve vs. Legacy CI (Klue, Crayon)
Unlike legacy CI platforms that require manual data entry and static dashboard maintenance:
- **AI-Native vs. Manual-Led:** Steve is built from the ground up to be an autonomous agent, not a database.
- **Zero-Maintenance (Anti-Scraping Decay):** Steve autonomously handles DOM changes, eliminating the "Scraping Decay" found in Klue/Crayon.
