No outside agent can call it, no price is published, and its privacy policy says nothing on training with user content. **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 ### Tab 1. Don't plan to call Tab from another agent. It answers only the owner's Messages or WhatsApp thread. 2. Tell the owner that access needs a waitlist place and no price is published. ### 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, Tab or Tasker AI?
