What this matrix shows
Assistant comparison: chatbot, custom assistant, company brain.

| Tasks | answers | tasks proactively | knowledge available plus tasks |

Your key criteria
Mark the criteria that matter to you. Your selection appears here side by side.
Ideal when
- Standard chatbot: you want to write fast
- Custom AI assistant: you want to ease your day
- Company brain: your knowledge is scattered
The matrix shows differences, the decision hangs on your case. Nothing is transmitted.
The calculation runs only in your browser, nothing is transmitted or stored.
How the tool calculates
- Mark the criteria that matter to you and read the matrix from your most important row.
- The row "Ideal when" names, per column, the case where that solution fits best.
- Often the answer is not a single column but a combination, like a personal assistant for you and a company brain for the team.

How to read the matrix
Read the matrix from your most important row.
If data protection is decisive for you, you see at once that a standard chatbot often stores in foreign clouds, while custom assistant and company brain can keep data in Germany.
If task handling matters, the "tasks" row separates the pure answer-giver from the assistant that gets things done.
Important is the last row: it names, per column, the case where that solution fits best.
Often the answer is not a single column but a combination, like a personal assistant for you and a company brain for the team.
From the matrix to a decision
- The matrix shows differences, the decision hangs on your case.
- If you just want to write faster, a standard chatbot is often enough, and you do not need us for it.
- As soon as context, sensitive data or real task handling come into play, a built solution is worth it.
- Bring the matrix to the conversation, mark the criteria that matter to you, and we go through them for your case.
- That turns a table into a clear recommendation.
