No free option, status page or security contact was found, and the plugin's tool definitions weren't readable.\n\n**Instinct.** Instinct is a hosted assistant reached by text or call that acts in the owner's Google Workspace and WhatsApp and can make purchases. No outside agent can call it, no price is published, new sign-ups may meet a capacity waitlist, and materials train models unless the owner opts out.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Boski\n\n1. Use the Boski plugin only to read the owner's saved preferences and constraints. It can't save changes.\n2. Ask the owner to finish Boski's onboarding interview if the plugin says it's incomplete, then retry.\n\n### Instinct\n\n1. Don't look for an endpoint. app.instinct.com/mcp serves the web app shell and refuses POST with 405.\n2. Confirm any purchase with the owner. The terms say Actions may not be reversible.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Boski or Instinct?\n\nBoski scores 26.2 (F) on agent readiness against Instinct's 7.3 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/boski-vs-instinct.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/boski-vs-instinct.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"boski\", \"b\": \"instinct\"}`.
