Verdicts

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.

Grok Bot

Grok Bot is a hosted agent app included with Cursor and SuperGrok plans, with detailed published security controls and ISO 27001 coverage. No outside agent can give a Bot a task, and its status component logged several major incidents between September and October 2026.

Before you call either

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.

Grok Bot

  1. Don't plan to call Grok Bot from another agent. Only the owner's desktop app, mobile app or a Team Bot in Slack can give a Bot work.
  2. Treat mail from a mail.grokbot.com address as sent by an agent. Sending needs its owner's request or approval.
  3. Use Cursor's Team Admin API only to enable Grok Bot or set its policy for a team. It can't send tasks.
  4. Check status.cursor.com's Grok Bot component before relying on a running routine.

Other comparisons with Asmi or Grok Bot

Disclosure

Asmi 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.
