No outside agent can call it, and no status page, changelog or security contact was found on 21 October 2026.\n\n**Poke.** Hosted assistant that answers in Apple Messages, WhatsApp, Telegram and RCS and acts in Gmail, Outlook, calendars and MCP servers. Plan prices and a status page are public. No approval settings, credential storage, model providers or retention periods are documented, and customer content trains models unless Maximum Privacy is selected.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Lobby\n\n1. Don't plan to call Lobby from another agent. It works only inside its own app for the signed-in owner.\n2. Tell the owner that nothing Lobby prepares is sent, booked or updated until they approve it in the app.\n3. Check whether the 7-day trial takes a card before signing the owner up. The terms don't say.\n\n### Poke\n\n1. POST JSON to `https://poke.com/api/v1/inbound/api-message` with a Bearer key from Kitchen. Legacy `pk_` keys work only on the deprecated `/api/v1/inbound-sms/webhook`\n2. Expect only `{\"success\": true}` back. Poke's answer goes to the owner's message thread, not to the caller\n3. Do not retry a POST blindly. No idempotency key is documented, and a repeated message may make Poke act twice\n4. Treat an API key as full access to the owner's mail, calendar and integrations. Create one key per automation and revoke it when done\n5. Avoid the prefilled integration link with `apiKey` in the query string for real secrets. Enter the key in the form or use `npx poke@latest mcp add -k`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Lobby or Poke?\n\nPoke scores 37.6 (F) on agent readiness against Lobby's 11.1 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lobby-os-vs-poke.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lobby-os-vs-poke.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"lobby-os\", \"b\": \"poke\"}`.

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",
