Prizmi vs Teya

Prizmi and Teya are both personal assistants tracked by AIDiveForge. Below is a side-by-side comparison of pricing, capabilities, platforms, and ownership — sourced from each tool's live website and verified before publishing.

Prizmi

Prizmi connects to your phone and desktop computers — Linux, Windows, and macOS — to run tasks on the machine itself: sorting files, drafting email replies in your style, filling browser forms, and firing daily reminders to family members. The approval loop is built in; Prizmi does not click Submit, Pay, or Send without you. That boundary is a deliberate design choice, not a limitation. The ceiling appears when you want a task to run entirely without review — full automation with no sign-off step is not on offer. Teams that need zero-touch pipelines will find that model incompatible with how Prizmi is designed.

Teya

Teya is an open-source, Android-based home agent that listens, holds context across conversations, and acts across apps — running on a spare phone mounted on a wall. There is no cloud subscription, no hosted API, and no vendor to call when it stops working: you own the stack. The README describes skills, a memory layer, and the ability to coordinate family schedules rather than just execute one-off commands. That self-contained architecture is also the ceiling — setup requires Android build tooling, and any skill that doesn't exist yet is yours to write. Families comfortable with a Gradle build and a spare Android device will find this fits a gap no commercial product fills; families who are not will hit a wall before the first reminder fires.

Attribute	Prizmi	Teya
Pricing	Paid	Free
Free trial	No	No
Open source	No	Yes
Has API	No	No
Self-hosted option	No	Yes
Platforms	Messaging apps; desktop apps for Linux, Windows, macOS	Android 8.0+
Pros	Runs tasks directly on connected computers across Linux, Windows, and macOS, which means file sorting and screen capture actually happen on your machine rather than returning instructions you still have to execute yourself. Approval gates are enforced before any send, submit, or payment action, so you avoid the category of mistakes where an AI assistant fires off an email or form submission before you have reviewed it. Email drafting pulls from your existing style and checks your inbox on a schedule, which means you stop context-switching into email to triage it manually and instead see a queue of ready-to-send replies. End-to-end encryption for sensitive computer tasks means the output of a private file operation or search never travels unencrypted through Prizmi's servers — the vendor states even Prizmi cannot read it. Multi-device message routing means a coding question spotted on your work computer can be answered on your phone without you physically switching machines or copy-pasting context.	Persistent household memory across conversations, so the agent knows that Tuesday means football pickup without being re-briefed every week — which is the specific failure mode of every commercial smart speaker. Fully self-hosted on a spare Android phone with no cloud dependency, which means household calendar data does not leave your network and the agent does not stop working when a vendor's pricing changes. Apache-2.0 licensed with a configurable model layer per THIRD_PARTY_MODELS.md, so swapping the underlying LLM is a configuration change rather than a platform migration. Skills architecture described in the repo allows the agent's capabilities to grow, so a household that starts with reminders can extend to home-control tasks without replacing the platform. Zero infrastructure cost beyond the Android device, so there is no monthly bill eroding the case for keeping it running long-term.
Cons	Every consequential action requires your sign-off before it executes — Prizmi will never click Send or Submit on its own. If your goal is a fully unattended automation that runs overnight and delivers a finished result in the morning, this architecture does not support that, and teams needing zero-touch pipelines will move to a tool that allows configurable autonomous execution. No API is available, which means Prizmi cannot be embedded in a product, triggered by an external system, or chained into a larger workflow. A developer who wants to call Prizmi programmatically or integrate it with a team's tooling has no path to that, and the tool remains personal-use only regardless of how the rest of the stack is built. There is no self-hosted deployment option. Privacy-conscious users who need all data to remain on infrastructure they control — common in regulated environments — cannot meet that requirement with Prizmi, and will need to evaluate locally-run alternatives instead.	Setup requires Android build tooling and Gradle configuration — there is no APK download or one-tap install described in the README. Any household member who is not the person who built it cannot recover from a broken state, which means a single point of failure sits between the family and their morning reminders. Any capability the agent does not already have requires writing a new skill, which means extending Teya for a genuinely new use case — say, integrating a specific calendar API or a home-automation system — puts you in the position of maintaining a fork. When that maintenance burden compounds across two or three extensions, teams move to a platform with a plugin marketplace rather than a skills directory they authored themselves. No API surface is available, per the project page, which means Teya cannot be called programmatically from other household tools or automation scripts. Households that want bidirectional integration with an existing Home Assistant setup or a third-party calendar service hit a dead end and either build a custom bridge or switch to a platform that exposes an API.

Bottom line

Prizmi is paid while Teya is free; Teya is open source. Choose based on which difference matters most for your workflow.

Prizmi vs Teya: which should I pick?

Pick Prizmi if its pricing model, openness, or platform fit matches your constraints; pick Teya otherwise. Check free-trial availability on each listing if you want to test before committing.
