No outside agent can call it, no status page or changelog was found, and its llms.txt and pricing file disagree on free limits and Max's price.\n\n**Dots.** Actions that affect accounts or share information pass an automatic review, and custom rules can require approval or a hand-off. Dots is a beta on Pro plans from $100 a month, and no status page, terms, privacy policy or way to delete individual saved notes was found in the pages we could read.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### folk\n\n1. Don't plan to call folk from another agent. It answers only the owner's iMessage, Telegram or WhatsApp thread and iPhone app.\n2. Quote limits and prices from pricing.md and the terms, and note that llms.txt gives different free-tier limits.\n\n### Dots\n\n1. Say what may be sent. Asking a dot to draft replies does not permit sending them, and an action outside a stated scope needs another decision\n2. Stop three things separately. Pause stops the main task only, delegated tasks stop in Activity and recurring tasks in Scheduled, and completed actions are not undone\n3. Connect each thing separately. A messaging channel grants no access to an inbox, an app or a computer\n4. Sign out of websites and disconnect apps yourself when removing access. Revoking dots access or disconnecting an app does not delete information already obtained\n5. Keep the connected computer online with the ChatGPT app open for local work. Only one personal computer can be connected at a time\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, folk or Dots?\n\nDots scores 28.3 (F) on agent readiness against folk's 19.8 (F), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. folk leads on reliability, payments \u0026 pricing and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/folk-nozomio-vs-openai-dots.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/folk-nozomio-vs-openai-dots.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"folk-nozomio\", \"b\": \"openai-dots\"}`.
