Alive compared with the tools people ask about.

Alive gives a business AI staff: agents that each hold one job and work in the background. These six pages put it next to the tool you are probably weighing it against, row by row. Each has a section on when the other one is the better choice. Where we could not confirm a fact about the other side, the row is left out.
