Choose your AI harness.

The model is the engine. The harness is the rest of the car: your company brain, your rules, your memory and your agents. Pick the harness and you can swap engines whenever a better one ships.

Step 1

Answer three questions.

QUESTION 1Do you have a technical person who will own this every week?

QUESTION 2Do you want your team using it to get more done, or is it only for you?

QUESTION 3Do you need to switch models by job and keep your company brain if you leave?

Your fit

Answer all three to see your fit.

Your match is highlighted in the table below.

Step 2

Compare the five options.

What matters	Big-lab agentsDuet, Dots, Muse, Grok Bot	AI coworker in your chatViktor	Open source, self-hostedOpenClaw, Hermes	Build your ownClaude Code and similar	Managed harnessPrime 100
Setup	MinutesSign in and go.	MinutesAdd it to Slack or Teams.	HoursA server, Docker and terminal skills.	WeeksNeeds a developer.	MinutesDownload the app or open it in your browser.
Upkeep	NoneThe vendor runs it.	LowThe vendor runs it.	YoursYou patch, secure and fix it.	YoursYou maintain everything you built.	Done for youPrime’s team maintains it.
A non-technical team can use it	It looks like a chatbot.	You message it like a coworker.	Mostly run through messaging apps and a terminal.	Built for developers.	Chat and channels, like a chatbot and Slack combined.
Works with any model	Each one runs its maker’s model.	Mostly Claude. You can’t assign models by job.	Bring any provider’s key.	Whatever you wire in.	OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini models, plus Grok Bot and Perplexity Computer.
Team and agents in one place	Mostly personal agents for one person.	One shared agent in your team chat.	Possible, with setup work.	Only if you build it.	Your team and your agents share channels and one brain.
You keep your company brain	It lives inside their app.	Skills can be exported. The rest is unclear.	It sits on your server.	It’s your code and your files.	Create it in the app, or connect one you already have.
Permissions by role	It’s one person’s agent, so there is no shared brain to protect.	It follows your chat channel membership. Role-based controls are still in development.	Possible, if your technical person configures it.	Only if you build it.	You set what each person and each agent can see. Everyone shares one brain, and payroll, HR and financials stay with you and your managers.
What comes with it	The agentYou teach it your business.	The agent and 3,000+ tool connectionsYou teach it your business.	The softwareYou add the brain, skills and agents.	NothingYou build all of it.	Built agents, weekly skills and a teamAgents for your business, new skills each week, and Prime’s support.
The trade-off	One model, one userThe vendor sets your limits.	Usage creditsHeavy use costs more, and you can’t route work to different models.	It needs an ownerSomeone technical looks after it every week.	Slow and costlyThe longest road to something your team can use.	Membership onlyIt comes with Prime Elite. You can’t buy it alone.
Best for	Trying an agent for yourself.	A team that lives in Slack and wants help this week.	A technical owner who wants full control at the lowest cost.	A company with developers on staff.	A business owner who wants the whole team on AI without running the tech.
