In their own words
Kore.ai
Kore.ai builds and governs AI agents and workflows for enterprise use. Agent Studio supports visual and code-based authoring of agents, workflows, and tools in one workspace. Its Arch feature can turn a plain-language intent into a proposed system with agents, workflows, tools, policies, and handoffs. Agent Blueprint Language provides structured definitions for agent behavior, tools, guardrails, orchestration, and handoffs, with policies enforced outside the language model. The platform automates multi-step work across agents, people, tools, and systems, with configurable autonomy and oversight. Agents can be deployed across voice, web, Slack, Teams, mobile, and other channels. Tracing covers agent runs across reasoning, tools, guardrails, handoffs, and outcomes; evaluation supports testing quality, safety, and accuracy before and after deployment. The marketplace lists more than 300 integrations, including Microsoft A365, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, and GitHub. Deployment options include public-cloud multi-tenant SaaS, on-premises, and private-cloud dedicated VPC. The platform is presented for Global 2000 enterprises and sectors including banking, healthcare, insurance, retail, and global service operations.
OpenServe

A chat widget can be added to a website with one script tag and customized to match a brand. The connector marketplace lists Shopify, Zendesk, and e-conomic, and customers can build connectors with the SDK. Deployment is available through Docker Compose self-hosting or a hosted option where OpenServe handles infrastructure, updates, and scaling. The service describes GDPR by design, EU-hosted infrastructure, encryption at rest, and a full audit trail. The Self-Hosted plan lists unlimited conversations and community support; hosted plans list no conversation limit and priority support. OpenServe says it is MIT licensed and built in Denmark.
