Ahead on: - Schema & documentation, 58 against 0 - Agent ergonomics, 52 against 0 - Security & auth, 59 against 8 - Transparency & trust, 68 against 58 Also in its favour: - Free to start without a card Watch for: No release, tag, published image or deploy guide; the README marks it early development ### Talorys (F) Good for: A single person who wants a private assistant for memory, tasks, notes and reminders on their own Cloudflare account. Ahead on: - Payments & pricing, 60 against 30 - Maintenance & community, 83 against 37 Watch for: No API key, MCP server or A2A endpoint, and the /api routes need the owner's browser session. ## Score by category | Category | Weight | OpenDuet | Talorys | Edge | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 42 | 41 | OpenDuet +1 | | Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Schema & documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 58 | 0 | OpenDuet +58 | | Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 52 | 0 | OpenDuet +52 | | Security & auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 59 | 8 | OpenDuet +51 | | Payments & pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 30 | 60 | Talorys +30 | | Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Maintenance & community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 37 | 83 | Talorys +46 | | Transparency & trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 68 | 58 | OpenDuet +10 | | Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | | | **Total** | | **49.5 · D** | **29.4 · F** | | ## Facts side by side | Fact | OpenDuet | Talorys | | --- | --- | --- | | Kind | Agent harness | Platform | | Vendor | CopilotKit (Tawkit, Inc.) | Roc Yu (rociiu) and contributors | | Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) | | Transports | | | | Auth | OAuth or key | OAuth or key | | Pricing | Freemium | Free | | x402 | no | no | | Licence | MIT.

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. **Talorys.** Talorys is an MIT-licensed assistant its owner deploys to their own Cloudflare account, with no telemetry, a documented threat model and code-enforced confirmation for destructive tools. It is two days old at version 0.1.5, has no mail, calendar or payment connections, and no interface for an outside agent. ## Before you call either ### OpenDuet 1. 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. 2. Run `bun openbot/scripts/setup-learning.ts` after `copilotkit project select`; the server reads `INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY`, not the `CPK_` key the CLI writes. 3. Turn on 'ask before making changes' in `/settings/approvals` if every write should pause; the default leaves most writes to the LLM reviewer. 4. 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. 5. Set `COPILOTKIT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=true` or `DO_NOT_TRACK=1` before starting if usage events must not reach CopilotKit. ### Talorys 1. Run `npx create-talorys@latest` with Node.js 22 or later and a Cloudflare login or an API token with Workers, Pages and Workers AI permissions. 2. Don't script the /api routes. They need the owner's session cookie and CSRF header and aren't documented for other callers. 3. Update with `npx create-talorys@latest update`. Only the latest version gets security fixes. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, OpenDuet or Talorys? OpenDuet scores 49.5 (D) on agent readiness against Talorys's 29.4 (F), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Talorys leads on payments & pricing and maintenance & community. ### Are OpenDuet and Talorys open source? Yes. OpenDuet is open source (MIT.

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).
