Aisera AI Agent Studio vs SEPIA

Aisera AI Agent Studio is a paid platform for designing and coordinating enterprise AI agents that act across systems. Agent Composer provides a no-code/low-code canvas, and administrators can describe tasks in natural language to create agents without writing code. Test Mode, KPI and adoption monitoring, audit logs, and guardrails support validation and governance. Workflow Studio includes more than 1,000 pre-built actions; Event Studio starts agents from configured events, and Prompt Studio supports prompt creation, testing, and refinement. Users can set agent personas, voices, and styles and access generated code for deeper customization. Aisera Unify connects third-party agents through A2A or AGNTCY and external tools through MCP. Integrations include ServiceNow, Salesforce, Workday, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Google Chat. Deployment spans AWS, Azure, GCP, VPCs, hybrid clouds, and on-premises environments. Pricing requires a demo or customized quote.

SEPIA is an open-source framework and cross-platform app for building a customizable digital voice assistant with a self-hosted server. The server runs core functions such as the database, account management, natural-language understanding and chat. Users can make commands in the app, build voice-controlled services with the Java SDK or replace framework modules. SEPIA accepts spoken or typed requests and can ask follow-up questions when a service needs more detail. Documented services include news, radio, timers, alarms, reminders, to-do and shopping lists, smart home, navigation, weather, Wikipedia and web search. The documentation names openHAB as a smart-home integration, and SEPIA-Home v2.7.0 release notes add Home Assistant support. Speech recognition can use native platform APIs or a custom open-source STT server; text-to-speech can use native APIs or compatible server tools. Client use is described for desktop browsers, Android and iOS; iOS instructions use Safari and adding the app as a PWA. Server guidance covers Windows, Mac, Linux and Raspberry Pi. SEPIA says users control their data in a self-hosted environment, but it does not currently host public servers, so users need access to their own server or one provided by someone else.
