# Niki vs. winkk AI

Pick Niki when a secure knowledge assistant is not enough and your team needs agents that plan, act, use tools, and repeat the job in plain sight.

## Here is the actual difference

Teams that want organizational knowledge to do some work, not just answer questions from a tidy little box.

| Capability | Niki | winkk AI |
| --- | --- | --- |
| What it feels like | A visible AI workspace for multi-agent execution, connected tools, schedules, and inspectable output. | A focused secure assistant for chat, organizational knowledge, retrieval, and transcription. |
| How far the agents go | Agent Team assignments, task states, steering, cancellation, handoffs, and reusable agents. | Knowledge-centered assistance across web, desktop, mobile, and Outlook. |
| Who runs what, where | Customer-controlled storage and infrastructure with local or hosted compatible model endpoints. | A European Microsoft Azure architecture with a clear public privacy story. |
| What knowledge does next | Private assets, websites, files, NFS, connected tools, and schedules feed broader work orchestration. | A simpler and more focused story for structured knowledge, citations, transcription, and Outlook access. |
| Who feels at home | Teams that need agents to act on knowledge across recurring and connected workflows. | Organizations seeking secure, multi-device retrieval over a managed knowledge base. |
