Town

An assistant for email, calendar, documents and Slack with approval modes and recurring routines.

Group: Work and business agents

Town gives each user an assistant, a 'Townie', that works with email, calendar, documents, Slack and other tools. Its docs describe searching the web, reading email, checking calendars, drafting replies, creating documents, running code and recurring routines, and reaching it from Telegram or WhatsApp (inbound only).

The decision in plain English

Town's docs explain three approval modes: require approval for all writes, tool defaults, or autonomous. Calendar changes need approval by default. Credits set usage: a free plan with 30 chat messages a month, then $15 a month and $49 a month plans on the pricing page.

Best fit

Professionals who want routines such as meeting briefings and email triage with explicit approval settings.

Poor fit

Anyone who wants a purely consumer texting assistant; Town is built around work tools.

Permissions and human control

  • Town's docs list three approval modes. 'Require approval' needs your explicit approval for every write action; 'Autonomous' runs all tool calls without approval; the default depends on each tool. Calendar changes require approval by default.

Documented controls do not prove that an agent always follows them.

Limits and open questions

  • Free plan: 30 chat messages a month and a 14-day Pro trial
  • Telegram and WhatsApp are inbound-only; the Townie cannot read or send messages there (vendor)
  • Credits determine how much work you can run; heavier plans cost more
  • Described by the vendor; not tested by AgentComparison

  4. Run it twice and compare, then review every action it took.
  5. Check cost after any free allowance. Unknown price is not free.
