Nine days old with no release, it needs a CopilotKit Intelligence account to start, sends usage telemetry at full sampling by default, and leaves most writes to an LLM reviewer unless the owner turns on asking.\n\n**szn.** szn is an errand assistant in early access that makes calls, sends emails and books for its owner, free during the preview for people with an access code. No outside agent can call it, no terms of service or legal entity appear in its policies, and its privacy policy says nothing on training.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### OpenDuet\n\n1. Follow the README's Quick start (`bun install`, `bash scripts/start.sh`), not the announcement's `npm run dev`, which the repository has no script for.\n2. Run `bun openbot/scripts/setup-learning.ts` after `copilotkit project select`; the server reads `INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY`, not the `CPK_` key the CLI writes.\n3. Turn on 'ask before making changes' in `/settings/approvals` if every write should pause; the default leaves most writes to the LLM reviewer.\n4. To bring your own agent, register it as a `remote-ag-ui` Bot in `agents.yaml`; its tool calls still pass through the gateway's policy and audit.\n5. Set `COPILOTKIT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=true` or `DO_NOT_TRACK=1` before starting if usage events must not reach CopilotKit.\n\n### szn\n\n1. Don't plan to call szn from another agent. It answers only its web app, iMessage, SMS and email for the owner.\n2. Tell the owner they need an access code to start, and that the acceptable use policy makes them responsible for confirming actions.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, OpenDuet or szn?\n\nOpenDuet scores 49.5 (D) on agent readiness against szn's 7.8 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Are OpenDuet and szn open source?\n\nOpenDuet is open source (MIT. Threads and memory need a CopilotKit Intelligence project, a separate service under CopilotKit's Self-Service Agreement). No open-source release is listed for szn.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/openduet-vs-szn.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/openduet-vs-szn.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"openduet\", \"b\": \"szn\"}`.
