# Niki vs. Langdock

Pick Niki when you want to watch the agents work, keep deployment in your hands, and bring local context along—without turning it into a company-wide crusade.

## Here is the actual difference

Focused teams that want control now, not a six-month platform rollout.

| Capability | Niki | Langdock |
| --- | --- | --- |
| How the agents work | A visible Agent Team with assignments, progress, sources, tools, and output in one view. | Agents and workflows inside a broader enterprise AI platform. |
| Where it runs | Designed for customer-controlled infrastructure and selected OpenAI-compatible endpoints. | EU SaaS plus single-tenant, customer-cloud, and on-premises options on enterprise terms. |
| What it can reach | Local files, NFS shares, private storage, and captured websites can be first-class context. | A broad cloud integration catalog built for enterprise rollout. |
| Getting it approved | A more focused product with a smaller-team sovereignty opportunity. | Stronger public procurement evidence, certifications, administration, and references. |
| Who feels at home | Operations, research, and IT teams that want direct control and clear execution. | Organizations standardizing an AI platform across a large workforce. |

Balanced view

## Where Langdock is a strong fit

Langdock is a strong choice for organizations that prioritize platform scale, mature administration, and ready-to-review procurement evidence.

1.  ### Procurement evidence
    
    Published security materials, a DPA, certifications, and a mature enterprise posture.
    
2.  ### Enterprise rollout
    
    Established references and an operating model for broad organizational adoption.
    
3.  ### Administration
    
    Mature SSO, governance, administration, and enterprise support.
    
4.  ### Integration breadth
    
    A wide model and integration catalog across common enterprise systems.
    

## Where Niki does its own thing

Niki is for teams that want to see the work, steer the work, and know what went into the answer. Radical, we know.

1.  ### 1. The team does not disappear into a chat
    
    See every assignment, who has it, which tools are in play, and what comes out the other end.
    
2.  ### 2. Your infrastructure, your rules
    
    Run Niki inside the security, network, storage, and model boundaries you already trust.
    
3.  ### 3. Local actually means local
    
    Bring local files and network shares into the work from the start, not as a footnote.
    
4.  ### 4. Start with the team that needs it
    
    Put agents to work without launching a company-wide transformation opera.
    

## Niki might be your thing if...

You want the work out in the open and the important decisions still in your hands.

-   Your team wants to see the work, not just the final flourish.
-   You want Niki running on infrastructure you control.
-   Local files and NFS are part of the job, not an edge case.
-   You want useful results without forming a rollout committee.
