Before choosing ownership
Control comes with responsibility.
- AI Employees is a source-code product, not a managed service. You own deployment, provider setup, security, updates, and maintenance.
- The purchase does not include implementation, custom development, or vendor-run support.
- A hosted platform is usually faster when its ready-made workflows, integrations, and operating model already fit your business.
The ownership path
Put the workforce inside your business.
Deploy the source, connect your providers and infrastructure, set the guardrails, and customize the employees, workflows, conversations, and product surface around the operation.
( Questions )
A fair comparison needs context.
Is AI Employees a direct clone of Sintra AI?+
No. Sintra is a managed helper subscription. AI Employees is a source-code workforce foundation with a larger packaged role library, workflow runtime, conversation system, and editable production surfaces.
Does AI Employees charge monthly credits?+
DevLaunch does not meter the codebase with monthly credits. You pay the model, media, hosting, storage, and other providers you connect, according to their terms.
Which is easier to start using?+
Sintra AI is easier if you want a managed product immediately. AI Employees requires deployment and provider setup before it becomes your operating system.
Can I customize AI Employees more deeply?+
Yes. The source code, employee manifests, workflows, tools, interfaces, and provider rules can be changed. That flexibility also makes you responsible for the implementation.
