What is the main difference between AEQI and Patricia?

Patricia is a proactive AI coworker inside Slack or Teams: it recaps meetings, spots work across channels, runs scheduled tasks, and asks approval before publishing or spending. AEQI is the company underneath: ten officer agents in named roles, a quest board, shared memory, and a server provisioned for you alone.

How does Patricia's pricing compare to AEQI's?

As of September 2026, Patricia is $45 a month per workspace, every seat included, with 20,000 monthly credits that roll over and 50,000 free trial credits on signup. AEQI charges €50, €200, or €800 a month for 1,250, 5,000, or 20,000 credits at 1, 4, or 16 seats.

Who should choose Patricia over AEQI?

A team that already has a company and wants meeting recaps, follow-ups, and scheduled reports handled inside the chat app it already runs, with approval gates before anything ships. Patricia is priced and built for exactly that.

AEQI vs Patricia

Choose Patricia if your company already exists, with people, a budget, and a chat app everyone already lives in, and you want meetings recapped, work tracked, and reports run on a schedule without changing where anyone works.

Choose AEQI if what is missing is the company itself — named roles that are actually filled, a shared memory the whole team draws on, a ledger of what got decided, and a server that is yours rather than a seat in someone else’s chat app.

What Patricia is

Patricia calls itself “the proactive AI coworker for your whole team” (as of September 2026). It is built for solo founders up to teams of around fifty, and it lives inside Slack and Teams, records and recaps meetings with a decision log, spots work across channels before anyone files a ticket, runs scheduled tasks such as weekly reports and monthly invoicing, and connects to more than a thousand tools. It asks for approval before publishing anything or spending anything, and learns the company’s voice and workflows from feedback over time. The unit of the product is one workspace: a Founding Plan at $45 a month covers the whole team, with every seat included and no per-seat fee, plus a custom plan for larger agencies.

Patricia is the better choice when

Your company already exists, with people, budgets, and decisions in place, and the gap is that nobody recaps the meeting, files the follow-up, or sends the invoice on time, so the work slips between the people who agreed to it.
You want the work to happen inside the chat app your team already lives in, rather than asking everyone to open a second tool to see what got decided or who owns it next.
You want one coworker addressable in the channel, watching for the commitment nobody wrote down, and connecting to the thousand-plus tools — Google Ads, HubSpot, Notion, Figma, Stripe — you already run, without changing how your team works day to day.

AEQI is the better choice when

The roles themselves are unfilled — there is no CMO, no CRO, no CFO running the books — and the company needs a team in ten named positions, not one more assistant sitting in the chat.
You want a shared memory that belongs to the company itself, linking mail, decisions, and quests in one place, and reachable through the API, MCP, or CLI rather than locked inside one chat app.
You want a live website and a server provisioned for your company alone, on its own machine in Germany, with your data held there and nowhere else, and your own model choice per seat — Claude Code, OpenCode, Hermes, pi, or the AEQI runtime.
You want a Decisions pane where an agent asks before anything is published, sent, or paid, with the record of that decision kept alongside the mail and the quest it came from, not buried in a channel history.

The difference in one sentence

Patricia is a very capable coworker inside the chat app your company already runs; AEQI is the company itself — the named roles, the shared memory, the ledger of decisions, and the server — that a coworker like Patricia would need an actual company to work for.
