Ahead on: - Maintenance & community, 54 against 9 Also in its favour: - No incidents deducted, where Lindy loses 3 points for them Watch for: No API, MCP server or A2A endpoint for an outside agent. ## Score by category | Category | Weight | Lindy | Tomo | Edge | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 24 | 15 | Lindy +9 | | Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Schema & documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 32 | 0 | Lindy +32 | | Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 43 | 0 | Lindy +43 | | Security & auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 49 | 0 | Lindy +49 | | Payments & pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 35 | 10 | Lindy +25 | | Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Maintenance & community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 9 | 54 | Tomo +45 | | Transparency & trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 52 | 47 | Lindy +5 | | Negative events | ≤15 | -3 | 0 | | | **Total** | | **32.3 · F** | **13.1 · F** | | ## Facts side by side | Fact | Lindy | Tomo | | --- | --- | --- | | Kind | Platform | Platform | | Vendor | Crivello Corp (doing business as Lindy) | Mapo Labs, Inc. | | Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) | | Transports | | | | Auth | OAuth | OAuth or key | | Pricing | Paid | Paid | | x402 | no | no | | Licence | Proprietary service under Lindy's Terms of Service.

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. **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 ### 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. ### Tomo 1. 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. 2. Tell the owner that adding Tomo to a group chat applies its terms to every participant. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, Lindy or Tomo?

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.
