21 tools scored on six dimensions, alternatives lists, reviews and 6 buyer's guides by role. Verified and dated.
Thirteen open source AI agents and frameworks compared by job: personal assistant, Cowork-style desktop, coding, browser, Manus-style research and building your own. Licenses, GitHub stars and what each one is bad at, checked 2026-10-19.
Most AI agents are built for one person. Six options compared on what a team of 3 to 20 actually needs: a shared list, one bill, a shared budget, and seeing what the AI did. TODO for AI, ChatGPT Business, Claude Team, ClickUp, Notion and Lindy. Team terms updated 2026-10-09.
Spreadsheets, reports, forms and contracts: six AI tools compared on whether they hand back finished work or a draft you still have to finish. Copilot Cowork, Claude, ChatGPT Work, Gemini, Lindy and TODO for AI. Prices checked 2026-09-24.
Cowork merged into Claude on 16 September 2026. Six alternatives compared on what changes when more than one person needs to hand work to the AI: ChatGPT Work, Copilot Cowork, TODO for AI, Manus, Lindy and Hermes Agent. TODO for AI team terms updated 2026-10-09.
Copilot Cowork is Microsoft's agent inside Outlook, Teams and Office, generally available since June 2026. Five alternatives for when your work reaches past Microsoft 365: TODO for AI, Claude, ChatGPT Work, Gemini in Workspace and Lindy. TODO for AI team terms updated 2026-10-09.
Work tools let a team share a list but can't act in your browser or on your machines. AI agents act, but in one person's private session. We checked 16 tools against six criteria; only one had all six. The table, the rubric, and what it's like to use.
Three ways an agent gets into a browser that is signed in as you. What each one can reach, what it leaks, and when it stops. How TODO for AI's Chrome extension does it.
Claude computer use, ChatGPT agent, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent and TODO for AI compared on what 'controls your computer' actually means: whose machine, whose browser, whose logins, and who is holding the permissions.
'Remembers everything' means four different things across four products: a preference list, a project folder, a self-written skill file, or every past task searchable under a token budget. What each keeps, where it lives, and how to check.
Most 'AI to-do list' apps reorder your list. This one works through it: uses your logins, does the job, shows the result. What that takes, what it costs, where it stops.
The tool that wins 'best AI assistant for work' loses 'for personal use', and the other way round. One post, both lists, with the reason they differ: at work the assistant needs your accounts; at home it needs your phone.
Seven AI personal assistants ranked on one question: does it do the task or describe it? ChatGPT, Claude and Cowork, Gemini, Manus, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent and TODO for AI, with prices checked 2026-09-21.
Motion, Reclaim, Todoist, TickTick, Akiflow, Lindy and TODO for AI compared on the question the other roundups skip: after the AI has organised the list, who does the items? Prices checked 2026-09-21.
Claude Code runs email triage, calendar prep and reports if you wire MCP servers. Here is where that holds up, where it breaks (browser, repo-shaped cloud runs, one vendor), and the tool to pair it with.
Qwen3-Embedding-4B cosine task→group routing vs Claude Opus 5, Sonnet 4.6 and TypeSafe Jev on 138 todo titles. The embedding was almost never wrong — it left half the board in Unsorted.
How the TODO for AI comparison pages are built — the six scored dimensions, the capability gates, the role-weighted ranking formula — and where each comparison lives.
What the AI agent and AI coding tool statistics hubs contain, how a figure is sourced, the derived formulas, and how the glossary resolves overlapping terms.
81 of 89 tasks with Opus 5.5 in a single sweep, refusals counted as fails, next to Claude Code (78) and Codex (75) on the same model, tasks and machine. Plus the earlier runs, the rerun rule, cost accounting, and why none of it is a leaderboard entry.
862ms voice→voice, zero self-interruptions under echo, zero dependencies, MIT. Measured black-box against OpenAI Realtime, Pipecat and ElevenLabs ConvAI — with the bench published so you can rerun it.
The highest LoCoMo number we're aware of, at 5.0K context tokens, and it holds at 95.0% under Mem0's own judge. The more useful finding: swapping only the answerer model moved the same memory system by 7.4 points.
What separates a real AI agent from a scheduler with an LLM attached — and how to hand off your marketing without handing off your voice.
Five specialized AI agents that run your social, SEO, outreach, ads, and directory presence in parallel — inside the tools you'd use anyway.
