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**Tab.** Tab is a private-beta texting assistant with a detailed security page on credential isolation and checkout binding, and a public updates page. No outside agent can call it, no price is published, and its privacy policy says nothing on training with user content.\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### Tab\n\n1. Don't plan to call Tab from another agent. It answers only the owner's Messages or WhatsApp thread.\n2. Tell the owner that access needs a waitlist place and no price is published.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, AstrBot or Tab?\n\nAstrBot scores 58.8 (C) on agent readiness against Tab's 10.7 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Tab leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Are AstrBot and Tab open source?\n\nAstrBot is open source (AGPL-3.0-or-later).
