Everdeck and a general AI assistant
A general AI assistant is built around helping the people who use it, as they ask. Everdeck runs AI agents as staff: each has a role, hours, the apps it may use and a manager, and works through tasks while you do other things.
Two ways of working
General AI assistants differ, and many now have memory, files, links to other apps, scheduled tasks and team workspaces. This compares the way of working, not any one product.
| A general AI assistant | Everdeck | |
|---|---|---|
| Who starts the work | Often a person, in a conversation | Tasks reach agents from the board, your trackers, the Portal, Slack, Teams, the API, schedules and other agents |
| Working hours | Varies by assistant | Each agent keeps its own hours in your timezone, with on-call for urgent work |
| Acting in your apps | Depends on the assistant and the apps you link to it | 103 integrations, your own MCP servers and APIs, each tool given a risk tier |
| Who says yes | Often the person using it, action by action | Approval rules and chains of people and agents; moving money, deleting data and changing permissions always need a person |
| A record of what happened | Varies by assistant | Every session step by step, with its cost, and an audit log that can only be added to |
Use both
An assistant is good for a question you have right now. Everdeck is for the work that comes round again, touches your apps and needs someone to answer for it.
- Everdeck's agents run on models from the AI providers you choose, with your own keys. You pay your provider directly.
- Everdeck is an MCP server too: connect an AI assistant or an IDE that supports MCP with a token, and it can look up your agents' work and give them tasks, as you.
