Its default launch binds all interfaces with sign-in off and permissive CORS, there is no security policy, and two CVEs in 2026 covered a shell-tool RCE and a multi-user MCP bypass, both fixed.\n\n**Orchid.** Orchid is a paid executive assistant over iMessage, SMS and Telegram that holds drafts and calendar holds until the owner approves, with a public status page and a named subprocessor list. 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### DeepTutor\n\n1. Run `deeptutor run \u003ccapability\u003e \"...\" --format json` and read the `done` event's `session_id`; pass `--session` to continue the same session\n2. Configure with `deeptutor config apply setup.json --check` first, naming keys through `api_key_env`; literal keys are rejected\n3. Before exposing it beyond one machine, enable sign-in in `auth.json`, set exact `cors_origins` and set `BACKEND_HOST=127.0.0.1` where loopback is wanted\n4. Run 1.4.10 or later. Earlier versions carry CVE-2026-51870 (shell tool RCE, fixed in 1.4.1) and CVE-2026-58168 (multi-user MCP bypass)\n5. Set `sandbox_allow_subprocess` to false where generated code must run only in the runner sidecar or bubblewrap\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, DeepTutor or Orchid?\n\nDeepTutor scores 62.7 (B) on agent readiness against Orchid's 20.2 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Orchid leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Are DeepTutor and Orchid open source?\n\nDeepTutor is open source (Apache-2.0).

competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds.
