Watch for: No API, MCP server or A2A endpoint for an outside agent. ### Zo Computer (E) Good for: One person who wants a hosted assistant with its own Linux machine, reachable by text message and chat apps, and who accepts that the assistant acts on connected accounts without a documented approval step.

No outside agent can call it, the service fee isn't published, and no status page or security contact was found. **Zo Computer.** Zo publishes an OpenAPI file, Markdown docs, plan prices and a named list of the providers that receive user content. One access token grants full access to the workspace, no approval step before sending or buying was found in the reviewed docs, and no status page, rate limit or SLA is published. ## 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 Tell the owner each errand adds an unpublished service fee to the order total. ### Zo Computer 1. Send `POST https://api.zo.computer/zo/ask` with `Authorization: Bearer zo_sk_...` and an `input` string. The owner creates the token under Settings > Advanced 2. Pass `persona_id` for a persona with a narrow tool set. The token itself carries every permission the owner has 3. Set `memory_mode` to `off` to keep workspace memory out of a request. The field is in the OpenAPI file and absent from the API guide 4. Do not retry `/zo/ask` blindly after a timeout. No idempotency key is documented and the request may already have sent a message 5. Append `.md` to any guide or reference URL for Markdown ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, asaply or Zo Computer? Zo Computer scores 43.1 (E) on agent readiness against asaply's 7.6 (F), and leads in every scored category. ### Can an agent call asaply and Zo Computer without installing anything? No hosted endpoint is listed for asaply. Zo Computer has a hosted endpoint at https://api.zo.computer/mcp. ## For agents - This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/asaply-vs-zo-computer.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/asaply-vs-zo-computer.min.md - Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {"a": "asaply", "b": "zo-computer"}`.

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.
