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. **Tasker AI.** Tasker AI is a freemium hosted assistant reached in Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS and email, with public plan prices from US$0. Its API, MCP and open-source claims couldn't be confirmed on 21 October 2026. No API documentation was found, and the npm package its API page tells developers to install doesn't exist. ## Before you call either ### folk 1. Don't plan to call folk from another agent. It answers only the owner's iMessage, Telegram or WhatsApp thread and iPhone app. 2. Quote limits and prices from pricing.md and the terms, and note that llms.txt gives different free-tier limits. ### Tasker AI 1. Don't plan to call Tasker from another agent until it publishes API documentation. GET api.tasker.ai/v1/tasks returned 404. 2. Don't run npx create-tasker@latest. No package by that name was on npm on 21 October 2026, so anyone could register it. 3. Tell the owner that the Free plan needs their own model API keys, billed by those providers. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, folk or Tasker AI? folk scores 19.8 (F) on agent readiness against Tasker AI's 7.6 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. ## For agents - This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/folk-nozomio-vs-tasker-ai.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/folk-nozomio-vs-tasker-ai.min.md - Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {"a": "folk-nozomio", "b": "tasker-ai"}`.
