No outside agent can call it, and no status page, changelog or security contact was found, though its iOS app ships every week or two.\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### Caddy\n\n1. Don't plan to call Caddy from another agent. It answers the owner's text messages, Siri and group chats it's added to.\n2. Expect Caddy to ask the owner before it sends email or creates an invite.\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, Caddy or Instinct?\n\nCaddy scores 16.7 (F) on agent readiness against Instinct's 7.3 (F), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/caddy-app-vs-instinct.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/caddy-app-vs-instinct.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"caddy-app\", \"b\": \"instinct\"}`.
