FAQ
Choosing an AI assistant
Which AI assistant works in Slack and Teams?
A chat-native AI assistant is built to live inside Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, WhatsApp, and Telegram as a teammate. Cody is the managed option: it has guided setup for Slack and Teams, works across all five platforms, connects to 50+ integrations via MCP, and runs in a dedicated private environment with zero self-hosting.
How do I choose the right AI assistant for my team?
Use the 7-criteria framework: platform coverage, integrations, data privacy, ease of setup, proactive vs reactive, memory & context, and pricing model. Hold every candidate up against those seven criteria and pick the one that scores best on the criteria that matter most for your team size and workflow.
What AI assistant is best for a small team (5–50 people)?
For small teams, chat-native assistants are usually the best fit — easiest adoption and fastest value, because the assistant lives where the team already talks. You get proactive agents and integrations without needing an engineering team to deploy or maintain anything.
Is there a free way to find the right AI assistant?
Yes — this page is a free, no-sign-up finder. Answer 4 questions about your platform, team size, budget, and use case, and you'll get a recommendation built on the same 7-criteria framework from our buyer's guide.
