It has no API, MCP server or documented command for another agent, it is five days old, and it rebuilds itself from the main branch every six hours by default.\n\n**Town.** Town is a hosted assistant that works across the owner's mail, calendar and work apps, and other systems can start its routines through per-routine webhooks with rotatable secrets, idempotency keys and documented errors. A caller can't read a run's result. The privacy policy and trust page disagree on whether training is on by default.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Atticus\n\n1. Don't plan to call Atticus from another agent. It takes requests only from its own shortcut and typing box\n2. If a user runs Atticus beside you, expect it to move windows and type into apps on the same Mac\n3. Point a user who wants pinned versions to Settings \u003e About \u0026 Updates to turn off self-update\n\n### Town\n\n1. Start a Town routine with POST to its webhook URL, Authorization Bearer whsec_ secret, and application/json or text/plain. Expect 202 only.\n2. Send X-Town-Idempotency-Key with a stable event id on every retry so Town doesn't start a second run.\n3. Treat 404 as wrong secret, disabled endpoint or missing endpoint alike, and ask the owner to check Routine Settings rather than retrying.\n4. Send account_email only if the owner allowed the override. It must match a connected account in full and can't widen the routine's scope.\n5. Ask the owner to keep routines that act on webhook input in approval-required mode, as Town's own docs advise.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Atticus or Town?\n\nTown scores 48.7 (D) on agent readiness against Atticus's 42.9 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Atticus leads on reliability and payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Are Atticus and Town open source?\n\nAtticus is open source (MIT).
