Ahead on: - Reliability, 30 against 15 - Schema & documentation, 20 against 0 - Agent ergonomics, 43 against 0 - Security & auth, 49 against 0 - Payments & pricing, 30 against 10 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). ### Tomo (F) Good for: People who want accountability, check-ins and reminders by text, including in group chats. Ahead on: - Maintenance & community, 54 against 3 Watch for: No API, MCP server or A2A endpoint for an outside agent. ## Score by category | Category | Weight | Asmi | Tomo | Edge | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 30 | 15 | Asmi +15 | | Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Schema & documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 20 | 0 | Asmi +20 | | 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 | 10 | Asmi +20 | | Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Maintenance & community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 3 | 54 | Tomo +51 | | Transparency & trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 51 | 47 | Asmi +4 | | Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | | | **Total** | | **33.3 · F** | **13.1 · F** | | ## Facts side by side | Fact | Asmi | Tomo | | --- | --- | --- | | Kind | Platform | Platform | | Vendor | Humint Labs, Inc. | Mapo Labs, Inc. | | Hosted endpoint | `https://prod.asmiai.com/mcp/claude/` | no (local only) | | Transports | Streamable HTTP | | | Auth | OAuth | OAuth or key | | Pricing | Freemium | Paid | | x402 | no | no | | Licence | Closed service under Asmi's Terms of Service (Humint Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation, effective October 2026). | Closed service under Tomo's Terms of Service (Mapo Labs, Inc., last updated 24 September 2026). | | Tools exposed | 12 | none | | Read-only variant documented | no | no | | llms.txt | no | no | | Last release | none | 2026-09-29 | | Terms last updated | | | | Privacy policy last updated | | | | Customer content may train models | | | | Terms restrict automated access | | | | Terms restrict benchmarking | | | | Terms or service can change without notice | | | | Arbitration or class-action waiver | | | ## 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. **Tomo.** Tomo is a hosted personal AI over iMessage and an iOS app, centred on goals, check-ins and reminders, with regular iOS releases since April 2026. No outside agent can call it, there's no free plan, and no status page, security contact or subprocessor list was found. ## 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. ### Tomo 1. Don't plan to call Tomo from another agent. It answers only the owner's iMessage, group chats it's added to and the iOS app. 2. Tell the owner that adding Tomo to a group chat applies its terms to every participant. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, Asmi or Tomo?

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