Verdicts

asaply

asaply is a text-only errand assistant in early access that orders, books and pays through Apple Pay after showing the total, and can read and change a connected Google Calendar and Gmail. No outside agent can call it, the service fee isn't published, and no status page or security contact was found.

Asmi

Asmi is a hosted errand service with a 12-tool MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and Muse, using OAuth with separate scopes for tracking tasks and for contacting people. Tool schemas sit behind sign-in, the outreach scope is ticked by default, and no status page, changelog or security contact was found.

Before you call either

asaply

  1. Don't plan to call asaply from another agent. It answers only texts from the owner's phone number and group chats it joins.
  2. Tell the owner each errand adds an unpublished service fee to the order total.

Asmi

  1. Use the endpoint for your own client (/mcp/claude/, /mcp/openai/ or /mcp/meta/). A token from another client gets 403.
  2. Call discover_search before execute_start, then poll execute_status with the task id instead of starting the task again.
  3. Answer Asmi's questions with execute_advance. Calls already placed can't be recalled by execute_cancel.
  4. Expect outreach_not_permitted if the owner unticked contact people. Ask them to reconnect rather than retrying.
  5. Check billing_status before starting a task, since each outreach task uses one of the month's quota.

Disclosure

asaply competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.
