## Which one, for what

### DeepTutor (B)

Good for: A learner, a teacher or a small group that wants a self-hosted tutor over their own documents, with quizzes, research reports, memory and IM companions, or for an agent that hands study tasks to it through the JSON CLI.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 78 against 41
- Schema & documentation, 71 against 0
- Agent ergonomics, 63 against 0
- Security & auth, 51 against 8

Also in its favour:
- No key needed to call it
- Free to start without a card

Watch for: The default launch binds the backend to 0.0.0.0 with sign-in off and CORS open to any origin with credentials

### 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:
- Transparency & trust, 58 against 52

Also in its favour:
- No incidents deducted, where DeepTutor loses 3 points for them

Watch for: No API key, MCP server or A2A endpoint, and the /api routes need the owner's browser session.

## Verdicts

**DeepTutor.** DeepTutor runs on the owner's machine under Apache 2.0, ships releases every few days with upgrade notes, and gives other agents a JSON CLI with resumable sessions. 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.

**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

### DeepTutor

1. Run `deeptutor run <capability> "..." --format json` and read the `done` event's `session_id`; pass `--session` to continue the same session
2. Configure with `deeptutor config apply setup.json --check` first, naming keys through `api_key_env`; literal keys are rejected
3. 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
4. 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)
5. Set `sandbox_allow_subprocess` to false where generated code must run only in the runner sidecar or bubblewrap

### 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.

## Disclosure

- Talorys 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.
