## Which one, for what

### Boski (F)

Good for: People who want an agent working on personal goals between conversations, and who want ChatGPT or Codex to read their saved preferences.

Ahead on:
- Transparency & trust, 62 against 52

Also in its favour:
- No incidents deducted, where DeepTutor loses 3 points for them

Watch for: No free plan or trial found.

### DeepTutor (B)

Good for: A learner, a teacher or a small group that wants a self-hosted tutor over their own documents, with quizzes, research reports, memory and IM companions, or for an agent that hands study tasks to it through the JSON CLI.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 78 against 25
- Schema & documentation, 71 against 15
- Agent ergonomics, 63 against 13
- Security & auth, 51 against 45
- Payments & pricing, 60 against 10
- Maintenance & community, 84 against 23

Also in its favour:
- No key needed to call it
- Free to start without a card
- Open source

Watch for: The default launch binds the backend to 0.0.0.0 with sign-in off and CORS open to any origin with credentials

## 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.

**DeepTutor.** DeepTutor runs on the owner's machine under Apache 2.0, ships releases every few days with upgrade notes, and gives other agents a JSON CLI with resumable sessions. Its default launch binds all interfaces with sign-in off and permissive CORS, there is no security policy, and two CVEs in 2026 covered a shell-tool RCE and a multi-user MCP bypass, both fixed.

## Before you call either

### Boski

1. Use the Boski plugin only to read the owner's saved preferences and constraints. It can't save changes.
2. Ask the owner to finish Boski's onboarding interview if the plugin says it's incomplete, then retry.

### DeepTutor

1. Run `deeptutor run <capability> "..." --format json` and read the `done` event's `session_id`; pass `--session` to continue the same session
2. Configure with `deeptutor config apply setup.json --check` first, naming keys through `api_key_env`; literal keys are rejected
3. Before exposing it beyond one machine, enable sign-in in `auth.json`, set exact `cors_origins` and set `BACKEND_HOST=127.0.0.1` where loopback is wanted
4. Run 1.4.10 or later. Earlier versions carry CVE-2026-51870 (shell tool RCE, fixed in 1.4.1) and CVE-2026-58168 (multi-user MCP bypass)
5. Set `sandbox_allow_subprocess` to false where generated code must run only in the runner sidecar or bubblewrap

## Disclosure

- Boski competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.
