How we compare, honestly
Side-by-side looks at Sanaf versus the other ways to put AI to work in a business: the AI employee platforms, the assistants your team already has a seat for, and the open-source agent you run yourself. Every page names the cases where the other option wins, because a comparison you cannot trust is worthless.

AI employee platforms
The products closest to ours: an AI teammate that lives in Slack or Teams and works across your apps. The differences are in how it is hired, trusted and billed.
The assistant your team already has
ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini and Grok are excellent at answering. The question on these pages is what happens after the answer, when the work still has to be done.
The automation platform you may already have
Zapier, Make and n8n move data between your apps on a trigger, and they are very good at it. These pages are about what changes when the work needs a decision on the way through rather than a path drawn in advance.
The outbound specialists
AI SDRs: products built to do one job, prospecting, at a volume and with a data stack that a generalist does not carry. These pages are about when a specialist is the right buy and when you would rather one hire held that job alongside the others.
The personal productivity tools
Calendars, inboxes and task apps with AI in them. They make one person faster at their own work, which is a different purchase from a hire the whole team can give work to. These pages are about which problem you actually have.
The recruiting platforms
Sourcing databases, screening engines and hiring platforms. They carry candidate data and hiring workflow that a generalist does not. These pages are about the difference between running a hiring process and coordinating one.
Run it yourself
The open-source agent you host on your own machine. Total control, and total responsibility.
