The agent sends messages, runs shell commands and edits files without asking\n\n### Tasker AI (F)\n\nGood for: A person or small team who wants an assistant in Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS or email that runs recurring tasks across connected apps.\n\nWatch for: The REST API, webhooks and MCP the site names have no public documentation, and the paths tried on api.tasker.ai answered 404.\n\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | nanobot | Tasker AI | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 70 | 15 | nanobot +55 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 77 | 0 | nanobot +77 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 74 | 0 | nanobot +74 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 63 | 0 | nanobot +63 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 20 | nanobot +40 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 82 | 2 | nanobot +80 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 48 | 45 | nanobot +3 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | -6 | -2 | |\n| **Total** | | **62.4 · B** | **7.6 · F** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | nanobot | Tasker AI |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Agent harness | Platform |\n| Vendor | HKUDS | DAPI, Inc.

No per-action approval step was found, and the shell sandbox and workspace restriction are off by default. Five security advisories were published between March and September 2026, all with fixes.\n\n**Tasker AI.** Tasker AI is a freemium hosted assistant reached in Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS and email, with public plan prices from US$0. Its API, MCP and open-source claims couldn't be confirmed on 21 October 2026. No API documentation was found, and the npm package its API page tells developers to install doesn't exist.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### nanobot\n\n1. Set `tools.restrictToWorkspace` to true and `tools.exec.sandbox` to `bwrap` or `seatbelt` before giving it real accounts. Both are off by default\n2. Run 0.3.0 or later. Earlier versions carry the published SSRF flaw in web fetch (GHSA-vc5v-6vwm-wf9m)\n3. Keep `allowFrom` narrow on every channel and never set `[\"*\"]` on Email, which has no pairing\n4. Write secrets as `${VAR}` references in `~/.nanobot/config.json`. Plain values are stored in clear text\n5. Use `nanobot -m \"...\"` for a one-shot run, and keep `nanobot gateway` running for channels, schedules and heartbeat\n\n### Tasker AI\n\n1. Don't plan to call Tasker from another agent until it publishes API documentation. GET api.tasker.ai/v1/tasks returned 404.\n2. Don't run npx create-tasker@latest. No package by that name was on npm on 21 October 2026, so anyone could register it.\n3. Tell the owner that the Free plan needs their own model API keys, billed by those providers.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, nanobot or Tasker AI?\n\nnanobot scores 62.4 (B) on agent readiness against Tasker AI's 7.6 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Are nanobot and Tasker AI open source?\n\nnanobot is open source (MIT). No open-source release is listed for Tasker AI.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nanobot-vs-tasker-ai.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nanobot-vs-tasker-ai.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"nanobot\", \"b\": \"tasker-ai\"}`.
