The master comparison
Every category covers a slice of back-office work. This matrix shows how each one touches your software, who builds it, and what it gives you for control.
| Category | How it reaches apps | Where it runs | Who builds it | Works in legacy desktop apps | Deterministic rules | Audit trail | Human review |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agent frameworks | Code tools, APIs, MCP | Your cloud or the vendor's | Engineers | Only with an added computer use tool | In code | Traces | You build it |
| AI workflow builders | SaaS connectors, cloud computers | Vendor cloud | Anyone | No | Prompts and conditions | Logs on enterprise plans | Approval steps |
| Enterprise RPA (UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism) | Selectors, bots, APIs | Your servers plus a vendor control plane | RPA developers | Yes, while selectors hold | Bot logic | Platform logs | Task queues |
| Power Automate and Copilot Studio | Connectors, selectors, computer use | Microsoft cloud, Windows machines | Makers | Windows only | Flow expressions | Run history | Approvals |
| Integration platforms | APIs and connectors | Vendor cloud or self-hosted | Integration builders | No | Filters and expressions | Step history | Approval steps |
| Browser agents | A browser | Vendor cloud or self-hosted | Developers | No | Code | Run records | Takeover or code |
| Claude and OpenAI computer use | Screenshots, plugins, cloud browsers | Your environment, a desktop, or the vendor's servers | Engineers or the user | In your environment or on a desktop | Prompt or code | Chat history or what you store | Permission prompts or a screen you build |
| Document AI | Document files | Vendor cloud or containers | Specialists and developers | No, extraction only | Configured logic | Review history | Validation queue |
| Custom scripts | Code, coordinates, selectors | Wherever someone put it | A developer | Fragile | Code | The author's logs | Whatever the author built |
| AI worker platforms | Mostly connectors, a few on screen | Mostly vendor cloud | Vendor templates and builders | A few | Varies by vendor | Varies by vendor | Varies by vendor |
| Consumer computer-use agents | Your browser, a cloud VM, rarely the desktop | Local browser or vendor cloud | The user, by prompt | Rarely | Prompt | Chat history | Confirmations |
| Enterprise agent platforms | Native data, connectors, MCP, RPA bots | Vendor cloud | Platform teams | Through RPA or Windows computer use | Platform logic | Platform audit | Platform approvals |
| Vertical AI agents | CRM, helpdesk, or repository APIs | Vendor cloud | Vendor and admins | No | Vendor logic | Vendor logs | Vendor workflows |
| Open-source computer-use agents | Browser and desktop drivers | Self-hosted | Engineers | Some, research-grade | Code | What you build | What you build |
| LaunchAI | The screen, plus an API where a clean one exists | Your machine or an enrolled agent PC | The person who does the work | Yes | Rules and Tables, no model call | A screenshot of every action | A review step anywhere |
Vendors change fast. Each page notes when its research was current.
How to read it
Three questions decide most comparisons. Where does the agent run? What decides the number? Who fixes it when the screen changes?
Narrower tools still win their own slices on price. A connector moves a clean record faster, and a robot farm posts identical transactions for less. Most teams use LaunchAI beside them, for the steps in between.
AI agent builders
Tools for building your own AI agents, from open-source personal agents to enterprise builders. Each page covers what the tool is good at, where it stops on back-office desktop work, and when to pick which.
-
