Which should you choose?

Choose QoderWake if

  • your team already works in DingTalk, Feishu or WeCom and wants AI employees answering inside those chats
  • you would rather install an app on a laptop or cloud desktop than run a Docker stack
  • you want AI employees that learn from each task, with memory you can inspect, edit and roll back

Choose KyoubeAI if

  • people and AI employees should work the same board, with any task passing from one to the other
  • the records agents produce must live in a database you own, with every change audited
  • agents should build apps your team opens as ordinary pages, with each viewer's permissions checked
  • you want your own model keys and a choice of agent runtime, with source code you can read

Where KyoubeAI is ahead

  • Tasks pass both ways on one board

    In KyoubeAI any task can be owned by a person or an AI employee, and several of each work one board at once. QoderWake's Task Board tracks work owned by Wakers and Groups, and people step in to approve or advise.

  • Company data in your own database

    Agents design and fill a Postgres database you host, and every change is audited in the same transaction. QoderWake keeps memory, projects and knowledge bases, but its documentation describes no shared database for Wakers to build.

  • Your own model keys and runtime

    Use your own Anthropic, OpenAI or OpenRouter keys, and pick Claude Code, pi or Hermes Agent as the runtime. QoderWake runs on its bundled Qoder CLI with the models Qoder provides, billed in Credits.

A chat with the CEO agent: an approved plan becomes five tracked tasks, the first marked as the person's own, followed by the agent's note that the COO has been hired.
An approved plan in chat becomes tracked tasks, and one of them goes back to the person who asked.

Run KyoubeAI on your own server.

It is free to run at any size. You need a machine with Docker and keys for the model providers you use.
