It is two days old at version 0.1.5, has no mail, calendar or payment connections, and no interface for an outside agent.\n\n**ZeroClaw.** Supervised autonomy is the default, so tools outside a short read-only list wait for the owner's approval, and secrets are encrypted in the config file. The docs state that command execution is not written to an audit log, and the project publishes no privacy policy or terms.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Talorys\n\n1. 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.\n2. Don't script the /api routes. They need the owner's session cookie and CSRF header and aren't documented for other callers.\n3. Update with `npx create-talorys@latest update`. Only the latest version gets security fixes.\n\n### ZeroClaw\n\n1. Keep `[risk_profiles.\u003calias\u003e] level = \"supervised\"`. `full` runs every tool not listed in `always_ask`, and the YOLO preset removes the sandbox and path rules too\n2. Add sending and account tools such as `send_via`, `google_workspace` and `http_request` to `always_ask` so a session-level Always grant cannot skip the prompt\n3. List senders in `[peer_groups.\u003cname\u003e] external_peers`. `[\"*\"]` accepts anyone on that channel\n4. Set `[web_fetch].allowed_domains` and `[http_request].allowed_domains`. Fetches run unprompted and the OS sandbox does not block egress\n5. Run one-shot tasks with `zeroclaw agent -a \u003calias\u003e -m \"\u003ctask\u003e\"`. A cron or webhook turn has no prompt, so shell calls fall to the command policy\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Talorys or ZeroClaw?\n\nZeroClaw scores 70.2 (BB) on agent readiness against Talorys's 28.9 (F), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Are Talorys and ZeroClaw open source?\n\nYes. Talorys is open source (MIT (Copyright 2026 The Talorys contributors). It runs on the owner's Cloudflare account under Cloudflare's own terms.). ZeroClaw is open source (MIT OR Apache-2.0).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/talorys-vs-zeroclaw.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/talorys-vs-zeroclaw.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"talorys\", \"b\": \"zeroclaw\"}`.
