## Which one, for what

### Lindy (F)

Good for: Lindy suits a person or small team that lives in Slack and Google or Microsoft mail and wants briefs, drafts, scheduling and meeting notes done on a schedule.

Ahead on:
- Schema & documentation, 32 against 0
- Agent ergonomics, 43 against 0
- Security & auth, 49 against 8

Also in its favour:
- Free to start without a card

Watch for: The integrations page says approval settings apply in shared Slack threads only. Web chat, Slack direct messages, iMessage and SMS are not covered, and reads are never covered.

### Talorys (F)

Good for: A single person who wants a private assistant for memory, tasks, notes and reminders on their own Cloudflare account.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 41 against 24
- Payments & pricing, 60 against 35
- Maintenance & community, 83 against 9

Also in its favour:
- Open source
- No incidents deducted, where Lindy loses 3 points for them

Watch for: No API key, MCP server or A2A endpoint, and the /api routes need the owner's browser session.

## Verdicts

**Lindy.** Lindy keeps what it remembers in files the owner can read and edit, and publishes credit prices. Its approval setting applies in shared Slack threads only, so writes asked for by direct message, text or web chat run unasked, which its pricing page does not say. It has no status page, and its changelog stops in October 2025.

**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

### Lindy

1. Treat a request sent by direct message, text or web chat as unguarded. Approval prompts appear in shared Slack threads only.
2. Run a routine as a dry run before turning it on. A dry run reads real data and sends, posts and writes nothing.
3. Turn off unused tools after adding an MCP server. Every supported tool arrives switched on, and a large server adds more than a hundred.
4. Expect a billed seat for anyone who mentions Lindy in Slack. A teammate who joins that way has seven free days first.
5. Connect only hosted MCP servers on public HTTPS with streamable HTTP, the one kind the docs describe.

### 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.

## Disclosure

- Talorys 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.
