AI Tools / Personal AI agents COMPARISON · LAST CHECKED 29 OCTOBER 2026
Personal AI agents, AI agents that do tasks for you, not just chat: they read your email and calendar, use websites, run jobs on a schedule and remember what you like. 20 agents, compared on the things that decide whether you can use one.
HOW TO CHOOSE
1 Check it works where you live. Several of the best-known agents are not offered in the UK or EU yet. Start with the UK and EU facts.
2 Hosted or on your own computer? Hosted agents keep working when your laptop is shut. Open-source agents you run yourself keep your data on your machine, but you set them up and pay for (or run) the AI model.
3 Locked to one AI company, or bring your own model? Bring-your-own lets you switch to a cheaper or newer model later.
4 Where will you talk to it? Pick one that lives where you already are: its own app, WhatsApp, text messages, Slack or email.
5 Before you connect email or a card, check “Asks first”. Prefer agents that show you the email or payment and wait for a yes.
6 Just you, or a team? Team tools share agents and context in channels; personal ones keep everything to you.

How we know Unknown means the maker's own pages don't say, so we haven't guessed (25 of 260 facts). No restriction stated means the maker publishes no country list or exclusions; check the sign-up flow. Facts come from each maker's own pages (see Sources on each agent), last checked 29 October 2026; some availability facts were first found via AideDex's open data (CC BY 4.0). Prices are in US dollars per month unless stated and change often.
