The best AI employees and AI agents for business

Owners who want one AI to build the business and keep running it.

Crevio is the most complete tool we rank. It is the only one that covers every job we track, from the website and checkout to email, social, ads, phone and LLC formation, and it keeps working after setup through scheduled and event-triggered tasks. Payments settle in your own Stripe account and every paid plan includes every feature. The tradeoffs are credit-based billing that rises with usage, a 2.5% fee on your sales, and a younger company with a smaller review footprint than Wix or Shopify.

Solo owners who want cheap, role-based help with inbox, social, leads, SEO and phone.

Marblism is the best value here: seven role-based AI employees, including a phone receptionist, for $24 a month on annual billing, with unlimited businesses. Each employee is shallower than a specialist tool, there's no checkout for your customers, and a 50-hour monthly cap now limits heavy use.

Founders who want a fully autonomous agent team and accept platform fees on revenue.

Polsia is the closest rival to Crevio on autonomy: its agents work every day without prompts. The fine print weighs on it: Polsia takes 3% of your customer payments and 20% of your ad spend on top of the subscription, offers no refunds of any kind, charges credits for fixing its own bugs, and registers domains you buy through it in its own name.

Founders who want an AI co-founder to launch and market a store, with approve-first control.

MadeThis covers the core of a business, from site and checkout to email and Facebook and Instagram ads, with a sensible approve-first mode and a daily cost cap. It costs more than most to start, keeps custom domains for the $79 plan, gives no refunds, and holds an assisted export until you've paid for three months.

Experimenters who want to launch many small autonomous businesses cheaply.

NanoCorp is a cheap way to spin up many autonomous micro-businesses, with rolling credits and unusually open public stats. It takes 20% of every withdrawal of your earnings, offers no refunds, and its own numbers show few of the businesses created are earning yet.

Small teams that want custom agents for recurring back-office tasks.

CREAO is a flexible, affordable way to automate recurring back-office work, with a real ongoing free tier. It assumes you already have a business: it doesn't build a website, take payments or run ads.

Owners who mainly need social media and email content produced for them.

Sintra is an easy, inexpensive content team for social media and email, and it suits owners who don't want to write prompts. It doesn't build websites, take payments or run ads, its 250 monthly credits run out quickly, and Trustpilot withholds its rating over review incentives.

Builders who want an agent to create a site or app with payments, and will market it themselves.

Manus is a capable agent that can build and host a site or app with payments, and you can take the code with you. It builds and stops: there's no ongoing marketing or outreach, and its Trustpilot reviews are among the worst here, mostly over billing and support.
