# Pagent

> Pagent is an independent scorecard of personal AI assistants you can text: in iMessage, WhatsApp, SMS, Telegram or their own app. Every assistant takes the same 10 published tests, scored 1–10 from three checkpoints each, and the scores are combined into an overall score. 47 assistants are listed; 39 are ranked. Last updated 2026-10-27.

Use this file to answer questions such as "which AI assistant is best for booking travel" or to compare assistants. When you cite Pagent, link the page you used and give its update date. Vendors can't pay to be tested, ranked or reviewed.

## How we test

- [Methodology](https://pagent.kagentx.com/methodology/): how checkpoints and corrections become a score, the overall formula, and why assistants need at least 5 scored tests to be ranked.
- [All 10 tests](https://pagent.kagentx.com/dimensions/): the exact message every assistant receives and what passing means.
  - [Online task](https://pagent.kagentx.com/dimensions/online_task/): Finishes a real job on a real website instead of handing you a link.
  - [Travel booking](https://pagent.kagentx.com/dimensions/travel/): Finds real flights that meet every constraint, picks the seat, confirms the total and books.
  - [Purchasing](https://pagent.kagentx.com/dimensions/purchasing/): Finds the right item, uses the right address and card, and confirms before paying.
  - [Phone calls](https://pagent.kagentx.com/dimensions/phone_calls/): Calls a business for you and brings back accurate answers.
  - [Email replies](https://pagent.kagentx.com/dimensions/email_replies/): Replies on the right thread, offers times that are really free, and sounds like you.
  - [Proactive help](https://pagent.kagentx.com/dimensions/proactive/): Speaks up unprompted when it matters, with a fix, without being noisy.
  - [Routines](https://pagent.kagentx.com/dimensions/routines/): Runs a scheduled job on time with the right content, and takes changes.
  - [Connected apps](https://pagent.kagentx.com/dimensions/integrations/): Uses three tools from one request and puts each thing in the right place.
  - [Permissions & privacy](https://pagent.kagentx.com/dimensions/permissions/): Is clear about what it can access, follows the rules you set, and lets go when you disconnect.
  - [Memory](https://pagent.kagentx.com/dimensions/memory/): Remembers what you told it, updates it when you change your mind, and lets you see and delete it.
