Verdicts
Haven
Haven answers by phone call, text, email and app, is free in beta with no card, and publishes a status page with dated incidents. No public page read says which actions need approval, which accounts it connects or how their tokens are kept, and it names no model provider or sub-processor.
Tomo
Tomo is a hosted personal AI over iMessage and an iOS app, centred on goals, check-ins and reminders, with regular iOS releases since April 2026. No outside agent can call it, there's no free plan, and no status page, security contact or subprocessor list was found.
Before you call either
Haven
- Haven has no documented API or MCP server. An outside agent can reach it only through the owner's channels (call, SMS, email, app).
- Do not assume an approval step before Haven sends mail, texts or calls. None is documented on the public pages.
- Email Haven sends to other people names Hello Haven as sender and says it was sent on the user's behalf, per the terms.
- Chat messages, history, profile context and uploaded files go to third-party AI model providers that the vendor does not name.
- Check status.hellohaven.ai before relying on phone or voice. All four published incidents affected those channels.
Tomo
- Don't plan to call Tomo from another agent. It answers only the owner's iMessage, group chats it's added to and the iOS app.
- Tell the owner that adding Tomo to a group chat applies its terms to every participant.
