| Dimension | Moveworks | Chat with Work |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An AI assistant for employees: "The AI Assistant platform for your entire workforce to search and act across business applications." ServiceNow completed its acquisition in December 2025, and Moveworks now powers ServiceNow EmployeeWorks. | AI bots and an assistant for your team's tools, as a service or on your own servers. |
| Bots that work by themselves | Ambient agents run with no prompt, on a webhook from another system or on a Cron, Interval, or Calendar schedule, and message people through the assistant. Productivity Routines, which employees build to run in the background, are in controlled availability since October 2026. | Bots start on a time, or when something happens: mail to their address or in Outlook, a GitHub issue, a webhook, the API, another agent, or a message in Slack, Discord, or Chatwoot. They work through the integrations you give them, on every plan and the trial. |
| How you set one up | An ambient agent is a Tool Studio plugin: a system trigger plus compound actions (API calls, scripts, LLM steps). Productivity Assistants take written instructions in Assistant Builder. Routines and ToolSmith, which build from a description, are in controlled availability. | Say what it should do in a chat, and approve the bot on one card, or start from one of 105 recipes. Its instructions stay plain words, and it works out the steps each time: no workflow to wire. |
| Before it changes anything | In Productivity Assistants, "Destructive, irreversible, or broad-reach actions need explicit sign-off first", and longer work goes through a plan the user approves. Builders can add a confirmation step per action, and MCP tools that aren't read-only ask by default. Ambient agents "can run fully autonomously or pause for notify / question / review moments". | Integrations start at Read. Changes ask first, shown as they will run, unless you let a bot's changes run; deleting asks unless you allow that one tool. Every change and question waiting for you, from every chat and bot, is in one queue. |
| Available in Europe | Yes, through its sales team. | Yes, on every plan and the trial. |
| Where your data and the models are | On AWS in the region you're set up in: US, EU, US GovCloud, Canada, Australia, UK, or Japan. For its EU data centers, Microsoft and OpenAI generative AI run in the EU, but Google's "Infrastructure services, Generative AI" are listed in the United States. Its models include GPT 5.4 and 5.5. | The app on our servers in Germany, and GPT, Gemini, and Claude, all in the EU. Web search, off by default, leaves the EU. Or on your own servers. |
| Self-hosting | No. Its On-Prem Agent only connects systems behind your firewall to its cloud. | Yes. Ask about self-hosting. |
| Price | Not published: you "request a custom quote" from its sales team. | Free to start. From €20 a month for one person, and from €25 per person for teams plus VAT. |
