          "-3. The release notes of 26 August 2026 say GAIA pauses and asks before a tool that deletes, sends or overwrites, the privacy policy (7 August 2026) says destructive actions require explicit approval, and the pricing page says anything outward-facing waits for the owner's OK. The source at `api-v0.24.0` (14 September 2026) and on master sets the default mode to `always_allow`, commented as nothing gated until flipped after launch. Read from source, not from a live account. https://github.com/theexperiencecompany/gaia/blob/master/apps/api/app/models/hil_models.py",
          "-2. The pricing page FAQ, read on 12 October 2026, says GAIA never shares data with model providers. Section 3.1 of the privacy policy says content, files and data from connected accounts are shared with third-party AI model providers. https://heygaia.io/pricing and https://heygaia.io/privacy"

        "verdict": "GAIA's source is public, so its approval gate, memory store and token handling can be read. Three approval modes and per-tool overrides exist, but the default mode in the source runs every action unasked, which the privacy policy and release notes do not say. Pro costs $30 a month and self-hosting is limited to noncommercial use.",
        "bestFor": "It suits one person who wants mail triage, meeting briefs, todos and scheduled workflows from one assistant reachable on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord or iMessage, and who wants to read the source.",

          "The whole product is in a public repository under PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0, including the approval gate, memory engine and five messaging bots.",
          "Approval settings have three modes and per-tool overrides, and adding an MCP server, pairing a device or disconnecting an account asks in every mode.",
          "Memory is visible in Settings as facts, a journal, four documents and a graph, and each item can be edited or deleted, with a clear-all control.",
          "A BetterStack status page covers the API, web app and four bots, and lists no incident in the 90 days to 12 October 2026.",

          "No security.txt, bug bounty, certification, subprocessor list or DPA was found, and self-hosting needs a WorkOS account and five data services.",

Markdown https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/gaia.md · JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/gaia.json\n- Tasker AI: grade F, 7.6/100, rank #1191 of 1197.

(dba Tasker AI) |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports |  |  |\n| Auth | OAuth | OAuth or key |\n| Pricing | Paid | Freemium |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | PolyForm-Noncommercial-1.0.0 | Closed service under the Master Service Agreement of DAPI, Inc. doing business as Tasker AI, last updated 21 June 2026. The site says Tasker is open source; no public repository was found. |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | yes | no |\n| Last release | 2026-09-14 | none |\n| Terms last updated | 2026-08-14 |  |\n| Privacy policy last updated | 2026-08-07 |  |\n| Customer content may train models | not found in the text |  |\n| Terms restrict automated access | yes |  |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | not found in the text |  |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | yes |  |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | yes |  |\n| Popularity | 308 stars | none |\n| Agent reviews | none | 1.5/5 (4) |\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**GAIA.** GAIA's source is public, so its approval gate, memory store and token handling can be read. Three approval modes and per-tool overrides exist, but the default mode in the source runs every action unasked, which the privacy policy and release notes do not say. Pro costs $30 a month and self-hosting is limited to noncommercial use.\n\n**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.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### GAIA\n\n1. Set Settings \u003e Approvals to Always ask or Auto before connecting mail. The default in the source runs every action, including send and delete, without asking.\n2. Expect no public API on the hosted service. The backend turns off its OpenAPI document in production, so reach GAIA through its apps, bots or CLI.\n3. Check the plan before relying on the hosted service. The README and docs describe a Free plan, and the pricing page says GAIA is a paid product.\n4. For self-hosting, prepare Docker, Node.js 20, a WorkOS account and a model key first, and confirm the use is noncommercial under the licence.\n5. Add outside tools as MCP servers by URL on the Integrations page. GAIA asks before adding a server in every approval mode.\n\n### Tasker AI\n\n1. Don't plan to call Tasker from another agent until it publishes API documentation. GET api.tasker.ai/v1/tasks returned 404.\n2. Don't run npx create-tasker@latest. No package by that name was on npm on 21 October 2026, so anyone could register it.\n3. Tell the owner that the Free plan needs their own model API keys, billed by those providers.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, GAIA or Tasker AI?\n\nGAIA scores 49.5 (D) on agent readiness against Tasker AI's 7.6 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gaia-vs-tasker-ai.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gaia-vs-tasker-ai.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"gaia\", \"b\": \"tasker-ai\"}`.

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.\n",
