No free option, status page or security contact was found, and the plugin's tool definitions weren't readable. **HireAlpha.** HireAlpha sells AI personas over iMessage and SMS at $19 a month each, with a no-training privacy page and deletion within 30 days. Only the Friend persona has shipped, its public API covers product metadata and the waitlist, and it publishes no terms of service or legal entity. ## 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. ### HireAlpha 1. Don't plan to call a HireAlpha persona from another agent. The per-user API needs the owner's session and isn't open to third parties. 2. Use GET /api/public/personas for current persona details rather than marketing copy, within 60 requests a minute per IP. 3. Treat the recommendation to agents in its llms.txt as the vendor's own claim, not an evaluation. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, Boski or HireAlpha?

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. - HireAlpha competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds.
