- Transparency & trust, 63 against 52

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

Watch for: No free plan or trial found.

### Lindy (F)

Good for: Lindy suits a person or small team that lives in Slack and Google or Microsoft mail and wants briefs, drafts, scheduling and meeting notes done on a schedule.

Ahead on:
- Schema & documentation, 32 against 15
- Agent ergonomics, 43 against 13
- Payments & pricing, 35 against 10

## 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.

**Lindy.** Lindy keeps what it remembers in files the owner can read and edit, and publishes credit prices. Its approval setting applies in shared Slack threads only, so writes asked for by direct message, text or web chat run unasked, which its pricing page does not say. It has no status page, and its changelog stops in October 2025.

## 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.

### Lindy

1. Treat a request sent by direct message, text or web chat as unguarded. Approval prompts appear in shared Slack threads only.
2. Run a routine as a dry run before turning it on. A dry run reads real data and sends, posts and writes nothing.
3. Turn off unused tools after adding an MCP server. Every supported tool arrives switched on, and a large server adds more than a hundred.
4. Expect a billed seat for anyone who mentions Lindy in Slack. A teammate who joins that way has seven free days first.
5. Connect only hosted MCP servers on public HTTPS with streamable HTTP, the one kind the docs describe.

## 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.
