Ahead on: - Schema & documentation, 10 against 0 - Security & auth, 14 against 8 - Transparency & trust, 72 against 52 Watch for: No API, MCP server, A2A endpoint or connector lets an outside agent send Duet a task or read its results ### Talorys (F) Good for: A single person who wants a private assistant for memory, tasks, notes and reminders on their own Cloudflare account. Ahead on: - Reliability, 41 against 15 - Payments & pricing, 60 against 10 - Maintenance & community, 83 against 37 Also in its favour: - Open source Watch for: No API key, MCP server or A2A endpoint, and the /api routes need the owner's browser session. ## Score by category | Category | Weight | Claude Duet | Talorys | Edge | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 15 | 41 | Talorys +26 | | Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Schema & documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 10 | 0 | Claude Duet +10 | | Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 0 | 0 | even | | Security & auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 14 | 8 | Claude Duet +6 | | Payments & pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 10 | 60 | Talorys +50 | | Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Maintenance & community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 37 | 83 | Talorys +46 | | Transparency & trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 72 | 52 | Claude Duet +20 | | Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | | | **Total** | | **17.9 · F** | **28.9 · F** | | ## Facts side by side | Fact | Claude Duet | Talorys | | --- | --- | --- | | Kind | Platform | Platform | | Vendor | Anthropic, PBC | Roc Yu (rociiu) and contributors | | Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) | | Transports | | | | Auth | OAuth or key | OAuth or key | | Pricing | Paid | Free | | x402 | no | no | | Licence | Closed service. No Claude Duet terms were found. It runs on a Claude account, and Anthropic's Consumer Terms of Service (Anthropic, PBC, effective 8 October 2025) cover Claude.ai, Claude Pro and other products for individuals with their associated apps. | MIT (Copyright 2026 The Talorys contributors).

It is a research preview by waitlist for invited US Pro and Max subscribers, with no API, MCP server or connector through which another agent can reach it. **Talorys.** Talorys is an MIT-licensed assistant its owner deploys to their own Cloudflare account, with no telemetry, a documented threat model and code-enforced confirmation for destructive tools. It is two days old at version 0.1.5, has no mail, calendar or payment connections, and no interface for an outside agent. ## Before you call either ### Claude Duet 1. Don't plan an integration against Claude Duet. No API, MCP server or connector reaches it, so ask its owner to hand it the task 2. Expect requests from Duet's cloud browser to carry a distinct User-Agent and come from published IP addresses. The string and the list weren't found on the pages read 3. Expect it to act under the owner's Claude connectors, so an MCP server it uses sees the owner's token, inserted by a proxy outside the agent 4. Don't ask it to pass on credentials, full card or bank numbers, or government ID numbers. Its classifier blocks them even when the owner asks 5. Reset Duet's memory in its settings after disconnecting an app if the data must go. Disconnecting stops new access only ### Talorys 1. Run `npx create-talorys@latest` with Node.js 22 or later and a Cloudflare login or an API token with Workers, Pages and Workers AI permissions. 2. Don't script the /api routes. They need the owner's session cookie and CSRF header and aren't documented for other callers. 3. Update with `npx create-talorys@latest update`. Only the latest version gets security fixes. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, Claude Duet or Talorys?

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. All three run on Claude, and every review of it carries a conflict label. - Talorys competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds.
