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**Zo Computer.** Zo publishes an OpenAPI file, Markdown docs, plan prices and a named list of the providers that receive user content. One access token grants full access to the workspace, no approval step before sending or buying was found in the reviewed docs, and no status page, rate limit or SLA is published.\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### Zo Computer\n\n1. Send `POST https://api.zo.computer/zo/ask` with `Authorization: Bearer zo_sk_...` and an `input` string. The owner creates the token under Settings \u003e Advanced\n2. Pass `persona_id` for a persona with a narrow tool set. The token itself carries every permission the owner has\n3. Set `memory_mode` to `off` to keep workspace memory out of a request. The field is in the OpenAPI file and absent from the API guide\n4. Do not retry `/zo/ask` blindly after a timeout. No idempotency key is documented and the request may already have sent a message\n5. Append `.md` to any guide or reference URL for Markdown\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, AstrBot or Zo Computer?\n\nAstrBot scores 58.8 (C) on agent readiness against Zo Computer's 43.1 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Zo Computer leads on schema \u0026 documentation and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Can an agent call AstrBot and Zo Computer without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for AstrBot. Zo Computer has a hosted endpoint at https://api.zo.computer/mcp.\n\n### Are AstrBot and Zo Computer open source?\n\nAstrBot is open source (AGPL-3.0-or-later). No open-source release is listed for Zo Computer.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/astrbot-vs-zo-computer.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/astrbot-vs-zo-computer.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"astrbot\", \"b\": \"zo-computer\"}`.
