Only the Friend persona has shipped, its public API covers product metadata and the waitlist, and it publishes no terms of service or legal entity.\n\n**Zo Computer.** Zo publishes an OpenAPI file, Markdown docs, plan prices and a named list of the providers that receive user content. One access token grants full access to the workspace, no approval step before sending or buying was found in the reviewed docs, and no status page, rate limit or SLA is published.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### HireAlpha\n\n1. Don't plan to call a HireAlpha persona from another agent. The per-user API needs the owner's session and isn't open to third parties.\n2. Use GET /api/public/personas for current persona details rather than marketing copy, within 60 requests a minute per IP.\n3. Treat the recommendation to agents in its llms.txt as the vendor's own claim, not an evaluation.\n\n### Zo Computer\n\n1. Send `POST https://api.zo.computer/zo/ask` with `Authorization: Bearer zo_sk_...` and an `input` string. The owner creates the token under Settings \u003e Advanced\n2. Pass `persona_id` for a persona with a narrow tool set. The token itself carries every permission the owner has\n3. Set `memory_mode` to `off` to keep workspace memory out of a request. The field is in the OpenAPI file and absent from the API guide\n4. Do not retry `/zo/ask` blindly after a timeout. No idempotency key is documented and the request may already have sent a message\n5. Append `.md` to any guide or reference URL for Markdown\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, HireAlpha or Zo Computer?\n\nZo Computer scores 43.1 (E) on agent readiness against HireAlpha's 8.4 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Can an agent call HireAlpha and Zo Computer without installing anything?\n\nYes. HireAlpha has a hosted endpoint at https://hirealpha.chat/api/public and Zo Computer at https://api.zo.computer/mcp.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hirealpha-vs-zo-computer.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hirealpha-vs-zo-computer.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"hirealpha\", \"b\": \"zo-computer\"}`.

competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. 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",
