## A good fit if …

- you prefer an agent whose model, according to Conway, runs on your Mac or iPhone
- you use an Apple device and want to try a product from a model developer
- you are prepared to check details such as access and approvals yourself

## Less suitable if …

- you need documented permissions, privacy terms and pricing before starting
- you need team management or admin control; nothing is documented on this

Editorial assessment based on provider documentation. Not a product test.
