| Question | Offivelle | Grok Bot |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free app. Agents use your own ChatGPT plan (through Codex) or Claude plan (through Claude Code, which draws on your plan’s monthly agent credit, then extra usage), or free models on your Mac. Offivelle sells no AI credits. | Comes with SuperGrok and paid Cursor plans: a weekly allowance, then pay per use.2, 3 |
| Where you can get it | Every country. The app speaks 11 languages, and agents answer in yours. | Not published |
| Where it runs | Your Mac (macOS 13 or later). Chat and approvals from your phone through Telegram, or the phone app on your Wi-Fi or Tailscale. Your own Linux server with Docker. Windows is coming. | A cloud computer for each account; apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.4 |
| Which AI does the work | Your choice: ChatGPT (through OpenAI’s Codex), Claude (through Anthropic’s Claude Code) or free local models through Ollama. Pick several and they back each other up. | Not published |
| One agent or a team | A team: a CEO who plans the work and hires from 46 roles in 13 departments. Several people can share a company, with roles from viewer to admin. | Several bots per person, and Team Bots for Teams and Enterprise plans (beta).5 |
| Approvals | Emails, publishing and spending wait for your OK, on the Mac or by Telegram. “Always allow” rules for what you trust, a daily budget, and one tap pauses everyone. | Sensitive or consequential actions can stop for approval.4 |
| Your data and training | Stays on your Mac. Prompts go only to the AI you chose (nowhere, with a local model). Offivelle doesn’t train on it or show ads; anonymous usage counts only if you say yes. | Needs cloud data storage; training follows your Cursor privacy settings.4 |
| Memory you can see and edit | Yes: plain Markdown notes in a folder you own (an Obsidian vault, kept with git). Read, edit, move or delete them. | Keeps preferences and summaries; no documented way to view or edit them.4 |
| Works with your computer off | While your Mac is on, or around the clock on your own server. | Yes: it works with your laptop closed.4 |
| Its face | A 3D office of people whose looks you choose; bring your own 3D characters. | Avatars with simple shapes and expressive eyes that show what each bot is doing.6 |
| Open source | Yes: the code is published under AGPL-3.0 at launch. | No. |
