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.

Orbits

Orbits is a family household app whose assistant, Bit, runs shared calendars, lists and meals, reads household email and places restaurant calls after approval, with iOS releases every week or two. No outside agent can call it, prices appear only as App Store in-app purchases, and no status page, security contact or named subprocessors were found.

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.

Orbits

  1. Don't plan to call Orbits from another agent. llms.txt says no public agent API is offered.
  2. Tell the owner the assistant needs an Orbits subscription bought in the app, and that any trial appears only at purchase.

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.

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
