How we compare: we only list what each bot’s own website, docs and privacy policy say, or what reputable reporting confirms. “Not in their docs” means we couldn’t find it in their public pages, not that the bot can’t do it. Bots change; if anything here is wrong or out of date, tell us in the support server and we’ll fix it.
