Web chat, Slack direct messages, iMessage and SMS are not covered, and reads are never covered.\n\n### ZeroClaw (BB)\n\nGood for: One person who wants an assistant on their own hardware that answers on Telegram, Discord, Matrix or email, asks before it writes or runs commands, and works with a local model.\n\nAhead on:\n- Reliability, 74 against 24\n- Schema \u0026 documentation, 82 against 32\n- Agent ergonomics, 72 against 43\n- Security \u0026 auth, 76 against 49\n- Payments \u0026 pricing, 60 against 35\n- Maintenance \u0026 community, 80 against 9\n- Transparency \u0026 trust, 64 against 52\n\nAlso in its favour:\n- Agent-ready, a grade of BB or better\n- No key needed to call it\n- Open source\n\nWatch for: The docs state that command execution is not audited. `[security.audit]` records certificate events only, and tool receipts are opt-in and not durable\n\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Lindy | ZeroClaw | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 24 | 74 | ZeroClaw +50 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 32 | 82 | ZeroClaw +50 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 43 | 72 | ZeroClaw +29 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 49 | 76 | ZeroClaw +27 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 35 | 60 | ZeroClaw +25 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 9 | 80 | ZeroClaw +71 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 52 | 64 | ZeroClaw +12 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | -3 | -3 | |\n| **Total** | | **32.3 · F** | **70.2 · BB** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Lindy | ZeroClaw |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Platform | Agent harness |\n| Vendor | Crivello Corp (doing business as Lindy) | ZeroClaw Labs |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports |  |  |\n| Auth | OAuth | None |\n| Pricing | Paid | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| 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.\n\n**ZeroClaw.** Supervised autonomy is the default, so tools outside a short read-only list wait for the owner's approval, and secrets are encrypted in the config file. The docs state that command execution is not written to an audit log, and the project publishes no privacy policy or terms.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Lindy\n\n1. Treat a request sent by direct message, text or web chat as unguarded. Approval prompts appear in shared Slack threads only.\n2. Run a routine as a dry run before turning it on. A dry run reads real data and sends, posts and writes nothing.\n3. Turn off unused tools after adding an MCP server. Every supported tool arrives switched on, and a large server adds more than a hundred.\n4. Expect a billed seat for anyone who mentions Lindy in Slack. A teammate who joins that way has seven free days first.\n5. Connect only hosted MCP servers on public HTTPS with streamable HTTP, the one kind the docs describe.\n\n### ZeroClaw\n\n1. Keep `[risk_profiles.\u003calias\u003e] level = \"supervised\"`. `full` runs every tool not listed in `always_ask`, and the YOLO preset removes the sandbox and path rules too\n2. Add sending and account tools such as `send_via`, `google_workspace` and `http_request` to `always_ask` so a session-level Always grant cannot skip the prompt\n3. List senders in `[peer_groups.\u003cname\u003e] external_peers`. `[\"*\"]` accepts anyone on that channel\n4. Set `[web_fetch].allowed_domains` and `[http_request].allowed_domains`. Fetches run unprompted and the OS sandbox does not block egress\n5. Run one-shot tasks with `zeroclaw agent -a \u003calias\u003e -m \"\u003ctask\u003e\"`. A cron or webhook turn has no prompt, so shell calls fall to the command policy\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Lindy or ZeroClaw?\n\nZeroClaw scores 70.2 (BB) on agent readiness against Lindy's 32.3 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Are Lindy and ZeroClaw open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Lindy.
