The same 33-row checklist and the same rules. Every cell shows vetted official evidence or “Not checked.”

The catch with each one

Numbered by support score across vetted capability rows, with incomplete evidence shown on every card. Unknown rows never count as a no, and this is not a score against your answers.

1. Notis

Personal AI assistant

Notis is a personal AI assistant you message from WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, Slack or email, and reach from your own coding agent through its MCP server.

Best for: running long jobs on a machine of its own

Bring your own AI: Runs on your own Claude plan, Runs on your own ChatGPT plan, Works inside your own coding agent and You choose which model runs your work

Pricing

tinyNature FreetinyNature Pro$20/mo

Free to chat; tinyNature Pro $20/mo, disclosed only on the HumanPods hardware-bundle page (no standalone software pricing page exists) · natura.inc

Who should pick it

tinyNature is the one to take when remembering context between conversations is the deciding factor. Walk away if you need a usable free plan or team seats.

Our take on how it differs from Notis: tinyNature is a beta assistant on three chat channels, running one undisclosed vendor-brokered AI model with no BYO-key, subscription-passthrough or MCP surface, and its only published price sits on a hardware-bundle page; Notis is a mature assistant that adds Slack and email channels, publishes its plans directly, and lets you route your own model subscriptions, API keys and coding-agent tools.

Pricing

FreeEveryday$25/moAlways-On$100/mo

Free–$100/mo · ollie.ai

Who should pick it

Worth it for rolling a shared assistant out to a team: that is what Ollie is built around. Walk away if you need it in the other apps you message from.

Our take on how it differs from Notis: Ollie is purpose-built for one household's logistics in iMessage/SMS group texts with fixed mail and calendar connectors and no developer surface; Notis is a broader channel-first assistant with tools, agents and automations across model providers.

Where none of them wins

Nothing on this page publishes anything on Bring your own API key, Joins and records your meetings, Open source and Run it on your own server. If one of them is the thing you actually need, none of these is your answer.

One more thing, because a table like this can be read for more than it is worth. It counts what each product documents. It says nothing about how reliable any of them is, how fast it replies, how good its writing is, or what it does when an integration breaks on a Friday night. A lower support score can still be the better daily driver. The only way to know is to put a real week of work through both.

A dash means the capability was not documented on the official pages we checked. Not checked means the evidence is still incomplete.

Questions people ask

Which of tinyNature, Ollie or Bo AI scores highest in the evidence checked so far?

tinyNature, with 39% across 32 vetted rows; 1 row is not checked yet. Ollie: 33% across 32 vetted rows; 1 row is not checked yet and Bo AI: 26% across 31 vetted rows; 2 rows are not checked yet. Unknown rows stay out of the score, so treat this as an evidence status, not a complete market verdict.

How much do they cost?

tinyNature: Free to chat; tinyNature Pro $20/mo, disclosed only on the HumanPods hardware-bundle page (no standalone software pricing page exists); Ollie: Free–$100/mo; Bo AI: Early access. Different currencies and different units, so there is no honest way to rank these against each other.

Which of them can I try for free?

tinyNature and Ollie have a free tier and free-tier availability is not checked yet for Bo AI.

Which of them work in WhatsApp?

tinyNature does. Ollie and Bo AI do not.

What can none of them do?

Not one of them publishes anything on Bring your own API key, Joins and records your meetings, Open source and Run it on your own server. A dash means the capability was not documented on the official pages we checked. Not checked means the evidence is still incomplete.

How was this comparison put together?

We read whatever each product publishes (92 first-party sources across 4 products) and scored all of them on the same 33 rows. Last checked 21 August 2026. A dash means the capability was not documented on the official pages we checked. Not checked means the evidence is still incomplete.

Where does Notis fit in?

At number 1, scored by the same code on the same 33 rows as everything else. Against tinyNature specifically: tinyNature is a beta assistant on three chat channels, running one undisclosed vendor-brokered AI model with no BYO-key, subscription-passthrough or MCP surface, and its only published price sits on a hardware-bundle page; Notis is a mature assistant that adds Slack and email channels, publishes its plans directly, and lets you route your own model subscriptions, API keys and coding-agent tools.

How we checked all this

We read what every product on this page publishes (docs and pricing pages where there are any, the homepage where that is all there is) and checked it against the same 33 buyer-focused rows. A support score uses only rows with an explicit vetted state; every unchecked row remains visible and never becomes a no. Notis chose the questions and is scored by the same rule. Count the links below before you weigh a result; some vendors give us three pages and some give us one. Last checked 21 August 2026. No vendor briefings, no affiliate links, no press releases.
