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.
Tomo
Tomo is a hosted personal AI over iMessage and an iOS app, centred on goals, check-ins and reminders, with regular iOS releases since April 2026. No outside agent can call it, there's no free plan, and no status page, security contact or subprocessor list was found.
Before you call either
Boski
- Use the Boski plugin only to read the owner's saved preferences and constraints. It can't save changes.
- Ask the owner to finish Boski's onboarding interview if the plugin says it's incomplete, then retry.
Tomo
- Don't plan to call Tomo from another agent. It answers only the owner's iMessage, group chats it's added to and the iOS app.
- Tell the owner that adding Tomo to a group chat applies its terms to every participant.

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.
