Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
Omi
A Model Context Protocol server for Omi interaction and automation. This server provides tools to read, search, and manipulate Memories and Conversations.
Personal Context
Builds and maintains a persistent, portable background context layer about the user — intake interview, ingestion of material they already have, gap analysis, scoped retrieval, maintenance and export. Plain markdown entries in a store the user owns, read through declared scopes and sensitivity levels; explicitly does not use model-managed memory. Ships the Portable Context Contract so issue-scoped workspaces can read it without re-asking who the person is.
