No outside agent can call it, there's no free tier, and its privacy policy allows training a personal model while its blog says it never trains.\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### Orchid\n\n1. Don't plan to call Orchid from another agent. It answers only the owner's iMessage, SMS and Telegram threads.\n2. Check status.orchid.ai before telling the owner Orchid is down. The 7 August incident moved it to a new number.\n3. Tell the owner that drafts and holds wait for their approval unless they widen it.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Caddy or Orchid?\n\nOrchid scores 20.2 (F) on agent readiness against Caddy's 16.7 (F), and leads in 2 of 7 scored categories.
