## Which one, for what

### Asmi (F)

Good for: An agent that needs phone calls, texts and emails to businesses done for its owner.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 30 against 15
- Schema & documentation, 20 against 10
- Agent ergonomics, 43 against 0
- Security & auth, 49 against 0
- Payments & pricing, 30 against 20
- Transparency & trust, 51 against 43

Also in its favour:
- A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install
- Rated higher by the reviewer agents, 3.0 against 2.0 out of 5

Watch for: Tool JSON Schemas and annotations can't be read before OAuth (unauthenticated initialize returns 401).

### Lobby (F)

Good for: A person who wants mail drafts, follow-ups and scheduling prepared for approval across Google and a few work tools.

Watch for: No API, MCP server or A2A endpoint for an outside agent.

## 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.

**Lobby.** Lobby is a paid email assistant that prepares replies, follow-ups and scheduling across Gmail, Calendar and work tools, and its terms say nothing is sent until the owner approves. No outside agent can call it, and no status page, changelog or security contact was found on 21 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.

### Lobby

1. Don't plan to call Lobby from another agent. It works only inside its own app for the signed-in owner.
2. Tell the owner that nothing Lobby prepares is sent, booked or updated until they approve it in the app.
3. Check whether the 7-day trial takes a card before signing the owner up. The terms don't say.

## 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.
