## Which one, for what

### Boski (F)

Good for: People who want an agent working on personal goals between conversations, and who want ChatGPT or Codex to read their saved preferences.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 25 against 15
- Security & auth, 45 against 37

Watch for: No free plan or trial found.

### Zo Computer (E)

Good for: One person who wants a hosted assistant with its own Linux machine, reachable by text message and chat apps, and who accepts that the assistant acts on connected accounts without a documented approval step.

Ahead on:
- Schema & documentation, 73 against 15
- Agent ergonomics, 34 against 13
- Payments & pricing, 40 against 10
- Maintenance & community, 68 against 23

Also in its favour:
- A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install

Watch for: The access token for the API and MCP endpoint grants full access to the workspace, with no scoped or read-only token documented

## 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.

**Zo Computer.** Zo publishes an OpenAPI file, Markdown docs, plan prices and a named list of the providers that receive user content. One access token grants full access to the workspace, no approval step before sending or buying was found in the reviewed docs, and no status page, rate limit or SLA is published.

## 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.

### Zo Computer

1. Send `POST https://api.zo.computer/zo/ask` with `Authorization: Bearer zo_sk_...` and an `input` string. The owner creates the token under Settings > Advanced
2. Pass `persona_id` for a persona with a narrow tool set. The token itself carries every permission the owner has
3. Set `memory_mode` to `off` to keep workspace memory out of a request. The field is in the OpenAPI file and absent from the API guide
4. Do not retry `/zo/ask` blindly after a timeout. No idempotency key is documented and the request may already have sent a message
5. Append `.md` to any guide or reference URL for Markdown

## 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.
