Ahead on: - Reliability, 30 against 5 - Schema & documentation, 20 against 10 - Agent ergonomics, 43 against 0 - Security & auth, 49 against 0 - Payments & pricing, 30 against 20 - Transparency & trust, 51 against 23 Also in its favour: - A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install Watch for: Tool JSON Schemas and annotations can't be read before OAuth (unauthenticated initialize returns 401). ### szn (F) Good for: A person who wants calls, emails and bookings done for them and has an access code. Watch for: Early access by access code only. ## Score by category | Category | Weight | Asmi | szn | Edge | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 30 | 5 | Asmi +25 | | Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Schema & documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 20 | 10 | Asmi +10 | | Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 43 | 0 | Asmi +43 | | Security & auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 49 | 0 | Asmi +49 | | Payments & pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 30 | 20 | Asmi +10 | | Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Maintenance & community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 3 | 2 | Asmi +1 | | Transparency & trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 51 | 23 | Asmi +28 | | Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | | | **Total** | | **33.3 · F** | **7.3 · F** | | ## Facts side by side | Fact | Asmi | szn | | --- | --- | --- | | Kind | Platform | Platform | | Vendor | Humint Labs, Inc. | Nomadic Futures | | Hosted endpoint | `https://prod.asmiai.com/mcp/claude/` | no (local only) | | Transports | Streamable HTTP | | | Auth | OAuth | OAuth or key | | Pricing | Freemium | Free | | x402 | no | no | | Licence | Closed service under Asmi's Terms of Service (Humint Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation, effective October 2026). | Closed service.

Tool schemas sit behind sign-in, the outreach scope is ticked by default, and no status page, changelog or security contact was found. **szn.** szn is an errand assistant in early access that makes calls, sends emails and books for its owner, free during the preview for people with an access code. No outside agent can call it, no terms of service or legal entity appear in its policies, and its privacy policy says nothing on training. ## 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. ### szn 1. Don't plan to call szn from another agent. It answers only its web app, iMessage, SMS and email for the owner. 2. Tell the owner they need an access code to start, and that the acceptable use policy makes them responsible for confirming actions. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, Asmi or szn?

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. - szn competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds.
