Verdicts

Hark Pro

Free tier includes the assistant capabilities. External API and MCP access were not verified.

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

Hark Pro

  1. Hand onboarding to the person using the Hark app.
  2. Do not treat Hark Services integrations as an API for calling Hark.

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.

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
