Where the others are ahead
Their own models
xAI, OpenAI and Meta each run their own frontier model. Crew bot picks from several labs' models for each job.
Bigger computers
Grok Bot's is the largest, Dots' the fastest, and Muse gives one away free. Crew bot's workspace computer is smaller, sleeps when idle, and starts with the Start plan.
Size and polish
Three of the largest AI companies, with the teams to match.
Where crew bot is different
It works on your own systems
Servers, routers and databases, with logins kept in a vault that no model ever sees, and five-minute certificates for SSH.
It puts your work live
It deploys to your own server, checks the app answers before switching over, and keeps the release before.
It answers your customers
A support chat for your websites, a bot per site, and your team taking over when it should.
It's built for a business
A crew with roles, team members, approval rules and a budget on every job. Approve from your phone, or talk to the Lead on Telegram.
Hand the crew its first job.
