Key features
Relevance AI

- Workforces
- A visual canvas connects specialist agents into a team, with AI-driven handoffs, fixed sequences or conditional logic deciding how work moves between them.
- Invent
- A built-in agent that works through a business process with you, then creates the Agents, Tools, Triggers and Workforces for it and proposes improvements after launch.
- Chat on web and mobile
- Agents and Workforces can be @mentioned in a chat interface at chat.relevanceai.com, in a desktop app, and in native Android and iOS apps.
- Integrations and triggers
- Native integrations ship with ready-made actions and triggers, and a Pipedream connection extends the catalog to 2,000+ services. Custom API calls cover the rest.
- Actions and Vendor Credits
- Plans count Actions, one each time an agent runs a Tool, separately from Vendor Credits, which pass model and tool costs through with no markup.
Toolhouse
- Delegate by email or chat
- A worker takes a task written in plain language and sends the finished deliverable back, including when your laptop is off.
- Marketing tasks
- The usage calculator lists email campaigns, social posts, ad campaigns, image and video assets, contact management, and SEO pages.
- Sales tasks
- Workers generate leads, update a CRM, and prepare offer decks and proposals; HubSpot and Salesforce logos appear on the pricing page.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
