How AI staff compare with the alternatives
An Agent Resource compared with
A temp
Book a temp for next week's gap or a job that needs a person. Hand never-ending admin to an Agent Resource.
An Agent Resource compared with
A chatbot
A chatbot settles what can be settled in a conversation; an Agent Resource carries on the admin for days after it ends.
An Agent Resource compared with
Hiring an administrator
Hire for the front desk, the conversations and the judgement calls, and leave the keying and chasing to an Agent Resource.
An Agent Resource compared with
An AI consultancy
Want advice, a strategy or a build to own? Use a consultancy. Want the work done and managed weekly? An Agent Resource.
An Agent Resource compared with
Building it in-house
Has someone the skill and the time to own an agent? Build it yourself. If nobody has, an Agent Resource fits.
An Agent Resource compared with
ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot
ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot are assistants each person runs. An Agent Resource takes one process off a desk and is run for you.
An Agent Resource compared with
Outsourcing or offshoring
When a whole function needs people, outsource it; an Agent Resource takes one repeatable process that follows rules.
An Agent Resource compared with
Robotic process automation
Where RPA repeats identical keystrokes at high volume, an Agent Resource reads work that varies before it acts.
An Agent Resource compared with
A virtual assistant
Varied, personal admin suits a VA paid by the hour; the same process run every day suits an Agent Resource.
An Agent Resource compared with
An MSP's AI offer
Your MSP keeps the IT, the licences and everyone's AI assistant running, while an Agent Resource does one admin role.
An Agent Resource compared with
Zapier, Make or Power Automate
Steps that never vary belong in a workflow you build; work that needs reading and chasing belongs with an Agent Resource.
