how Prest0n compares

AI assistants and personal agents each work for one person. Prest0n works for your whole firm.

three kinds of AI, and an employee

what a firm weighs falls into three kinds, each working for one person. Prest0n is a fourth: an employee for the whole firm.

AI assistants: each person works with it in their own account, and now hands it work to do as an agent. Claude · ChatGPT
personal agents: it acts for one person, across the apps and accounts they use. Muse · Instinct
always-on agents: an agent with a computer of its own that keeps working on what its person sets. OpenAI dots · Grok Bot
Prest0n, a full-time AI employee: one employee your whole team works with, under your firm’s own rules. it starts work on its own and does the job end to end, as much of it as you choose.

what is no longer different

several of these products now remember, work in your apps, use a computer of their own and ask before some actions. so the choice turns on who it works for, who decides what it does, and what happens to your content.

memory: it remembers what you tell it and carries it into later work.
your apps: it works in the apps you already use.
a computer of its own: it works on a computer of its own in the cloud, so it keeps going while you are away.
work on a schedule: it takes on recurring work and runs it on its own cadence.
asking first: it asks before some actions, by its maker’s rules or yours.

what Prest0n adds for a firm

what a firm needs from an employee, under the firm’s own rules.

one employee your whole team works with. every person on your team uses it at no extra cost: you pay only for Prest0n employees.
management decides what Prest0n can see and do, and permissions are resolved for the person asking, on every single message.
by default, anything that leaves your firm waits for the person accountable for it to authorize it; only that person or your workspace can choose to send a kind without asking.
these rules are built into the system: Prest0n cannot turn them off.
governed actions land in an append-only audit feed your team can read. an owner can wall named people off a matter, and a legal hold pauses deletion while it stands.
your content is used only to provide the service to your firm, and Prest0 is committed to it never being used to train shared models; zero retention at every model provider is being built.
built for your field: its workflows run end to end, and what its licensed professionals decide stays with them.

you decide how much it does

nothing runs without your permission. anything runs with it. as much or as little of the work as you choose: for you, and for your team. by default, anything that leaves your firm waits for the person accountable for it; only that person or your workspace can choose to send a kind without asking.
