ChatGPT Workspace Agents OpenAI’s fully-managed shared-team agents, inside ChatGPT, OpenAI-only model stack, no portability outside ChatGPT you want self-hosted, multi-provider agents you own and can move

Runwork a cloud SaaS coordination layer across the AI agents a team already uses (shared skills, automations, adoption metrics) you want the agents themselves — self-hosted, durable, portable — not just coordination of external tools
TeamAI a hosted, cloud-SaaS multi-LLM team workspace — multi-model chat, a citing document knowledge base, custom assistants, and integrations, billed by workspace you want self-hosted agents you own, on your own keys and infrastructure, with portable OAS flows and an audit trail in your own database
Tasklet a cloud platform that turns plain-English task descriptions into always-on automations, each agent in its own sandboxed cloud machine you want self-hosted agents you own, with portable OAS flows and an audit trail in your own database, not a managed cloud

ServiceNow the enterprise workflow giant — a proprietary single-vendor cloud suite (ITSM, HR, customer service, security operations) with an agentic-AI layer on a shared data model, sold through enterprise agreements you want a focused, open source, self-hosted agent platform you own — portable agents and an open marketplace, without an enterprise suite or sales cycle
