No tool call asks for approval, no mail, calendar or long-term memory connector is built in, and usage statistics, including the machine's hostname, are sent by default.\n\n**Natura tinyNature.** tinyNature is Natura's hosted personal agent, reached by message today or by voice through $149 HumanPods earbuds, with a published retention table and subprocessor list. No outside agent can call it, and no status page, changelog or dated release was found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### AstrBot\n\n1. Set `ASTRBOT_DISABLE_METRICS=1` before the first start. Statistics, including the hostname, are sent to tickstats.soulter.top by default\n2. Set `dashboard.host` to 127.0.0.1 in `data/cmd_config.json`, or the `DASHBOARD_HOST` variable, unless remote access is intended. The default is 0.0.0.0\n3. Create an `abk_` key in Settings, OpenAPI with only the scopes needed, and send it as `Authorization: Bearer` or `X-API-Key`\n4. Include `username` in every `POST /api/v1/chat` body. Without the `chat:admin` scope an administrator ID is rejected\n5. Check Extensions, Future Tasks after asking for a schedule. One-off tasks are deleted after their run even when the run fails\n\n### Natura tinyNature\n\n1. Don't plan to call tinyNature from another agent. @tinyNatureBot on Telegram is a chat for the owner, not an API.\n2. Send security reports to ops@natura.inc. The security.txt the site links returns 404.\n3. Check that tinyNature works on the owner's platform before they order HumanPods, as the HumanPods FAQ advises.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, AstrBot or Natura tinyNature?\n\nAstrBot scores 58.8 (C) on agent readiness against Natura tinyNature's 15.1 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Natura tinyNature leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Are AstrBot and Natura tinyNature open source?\n\nAstrBot is open source (AGPL-3.0-or-later).
