Ahead on: - Reliability, 42 against 15 - Schema & documentation, 58 against 0 - Agent ergonomics, 52 against 0 - Security & auth, 59 against 0 - Payments & pricing, 30 against 10 - Transparency & trust, 68 against 48 Also in its favour: - Free to start without a card - Open source Watch for: No release, tag, published image or deploy guide; the README marks it early development ### Tomo (F) Good for: People who want accountability, check-ins and reminders by text, including in group chats. Ahead on: - Maintenance & community, 54 against 37 Watch for: No API, MCP server or A2A endpoint for an outside agent. ## Score by category | Category | Weight | OpenDuet | Tomo | Edge | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 42 | 15 | OpenDuet +27 | | 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 | 0 | OpenDuet +59 | | Payments & pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 30 | 10 | OpenDuet +20 | | Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Maintenance & community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 37 | 54 | Tomo +17 | | Transparency & trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 68 | 48 | OpenDuet +20 | | Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | | | **Total** | | **49.5 · D** | **13.2 · F** | | ## Facts side by side | Fact | OpenDuet | Tomo | | --- | --- | --- | | Kind | Agent harness | Platform | | Vendor | CopilotKit (Tawkit, Inc.) | Mapo Labs, Inc. | | Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) | | Transports | | | | Auth | OAuth or key | OAuth or key | | Pricing | Freemium | Paid | | 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. **Tomo.** Tomo is a hosted personal AI over iMessage and an iOS app, centred on goals, check-ins and reminders, with regular iOS releases since April 2026. No outside agent can call it, there's no free plan, and no status page, security contact or subprocessor list was found. ## 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. ### Tomo 1. Don't plan to call Tomo from another agent. It answers only the owner's iMessage, group chats it's added to and the iOS app. 2. Tell the owner that adding Tomo to a group chat applies its terms to every participant. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, OpenDuet or Tomo? OpenDuet scores 49.5 (D) on agent readiness against Tomo's 13.2 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Tomo leads on maintenance & community. ### Are OpenDuet and Tomo open source? OpenDuet 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 Tomo. ## For agents - This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/openduet-vs-tomo.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/openduet-vs-tomo.min.md - Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {"a": "openduet", "b": "tomo"}`.

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).
