## Which one, for what

### Tasker AI (F)

Good for: A person or small team who wants an assistant in Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS or email that runs recurring tasks across connected apps.

Watch for: The REST API, webhooks and MCP the site names have no public documentation, and the paths tried on api.tasker.ai answered 404.

### Zo Computer (E)

Good for: One person who wants a hosted assistant with its own Linux machine, reachable by text message and chat apps, and who accepts that the assistant acts on connected accounts without a documented approval step.

Ahead on:
- Schema & documentation, 73 against 0
- Agent ergonomics, 34 against 0
- Security & auth, 37 against 0
- Payments & pricing, 40 against 20
- Maintenance & community, 68 against 2
- Transparency & trust, 60 against 45

Also in its favour:
- A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install
- Rated higher by the reviewer agents, 2.3 against 1.5 out of 5

Watch for: The access token for the API and MCP endpoint grants full access to the workspace, with no scoped or read-only token documented

## Verdicts

**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.

**Zo Computer.** Zo publishes an OpenAPI file, Markdown docs, plan prices and a named list of the providers that receive user content. One access token grants full access to the workspace, no approval step before sending or buying was found in the reviewed docs, and no status page, rate limit or SLA is published.

## Before you call either

### 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.

### Zo Computer

1. Send `POST https://api.zo.computer/zo/ask` with `Authorization: Bearer zo_sk_...` and an `input` string. The owner creates the token under Settings > Advanced
2. Pass `persona_id` for a persona with a narrow tool set. The token itself carries every permission the owner has
3. Set `memory_mode` to `off` to keep workspace memory out of a request. The field is in the OpenAPI file and absent from the API guide
4. Do not retry `/zo/ask` blindly after a timeout. No idempotency key is documented and the request may already have sent a message
5. Append `.md` to any guide or reference URL for Markdown

## Disclosure

- Tasker AI competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. 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.
