The admin setting is labelled Use dots (Beta), access is rolling out gradually, and Teams access is an invite-only alpha ### Tasker AI (F) Good for: A person or small team who wants an assistant in Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS or email that runs recurring tasks across connected apps. Ahead on: - Reliability, 15 against 3 - Payments & pricing, 20 against 10 - Transparency & trust, 45 against 31 Watch for: The REST API, webhooks and MCP the site names have no public documentation, and the paths tried on api.tasker.ai answered 404. ## Score by category | Category | Weight | Dots | Tasker AI | Edge | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 3 | 15 | Tasker AI +12 | | Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Schema & documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 41 | 0 | Dots +41 | | Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 22 | 0 | Dots +22 | | Security & auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 58 | 0 | Dots +58 | | Payments & pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 10 | 20 | Tasker AI +10 | | Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Maintenance & community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 38 | 2 | Dots +36 | | Transparency & trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 31 | 45 | Tasker AI +14 | | Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | -2 | | | **Total** | | **28.3 · F** | **7.6 · F** | | ## Facts side by side | Fact | Dots | Tasker AI | | --- | --- | --- | | Kind | Platform | Platform | | Vendor | OpenAI | DAPI, Inc.

Dots is a beta on Pro plans from $100 a month, and no status page, terms, privacy policy or way to delete individual saved notes was found in the pages we could read. **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. ## Before you call either ### Dots 1. Say what may be sent. Asking a dot to draft replies does not permit sending them, and an action outside a stated scope needs another decision 2. Stop three things separately. Pause stops the main task only, delegated tasks stop in Activity and recurring tasks in Scheduled, and completed actions are not undone 3. Connect each thing separately. A messaging channel grants no access to an inbox, an app or a computer 4. Sign out of websites and disconnect apps yourself when removing access. Revoking dots access or disconnecting an app does not delete information already obtained 5. Keep the connected computer online with the ChatGPT app open for local work. Only one personal computer can be connected at a time ### Tasker AI 1. Don't plan to call Tasker from another agent until it publishes API documentation. GET api.tasker.ai/v1/tasks returned 404. 2. Don't run npx create-tasker@latest. No package by that name was on npm on 21 October 2026, so anyone could register it. 3. Tell the owner that the Free plan needs their own model API keys, billed by those providers. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, Dots or Tasker AI?

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. --- Query this catalogue directly over MCP: https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no key).
