Verdicts
Boski
Boski is a hosted personal agent that works on its owner's goals over messaging channels for $5 a week, and its plugin lets ChatGPT and Codex read saved preferences under a read-only OAuth scope. No free option, status page or security contact was found, and the plugin's tool definitions weren't readable.
Brea
Brea is an iMessage assistant with a free plan that needs no card, approval by reply before it sends, deletes or pays, and one-time Link cards for purchases. No outside agent can call it, paid prices sit inside the app, and no changelog or subprocessor list was found.
Before you call either
Boski
- Use the Boski plugin only to read the owner's saved preferences and constraints. It can't save changes.
- Ask the owner to finish Boski's onboarding interview if the plugin says it's incomplete, then retry.
Brea
- Don't plan to call Brea from another agent. It answers only the owner's iMessage thread.
- Tell the owner that replying ALWAYS stops Brea asking again for that action.
