Shortlist Langdock when …

You want central access to different AI models across teams.
Custom agents and multi-step workflows are central to your project.
You have owners for automations and API usage.

Shortlist chifty when …

Approved company knowledge is needed in both chat and email drafts.
You want to start with a specific knowledge or mailbox workflow.
You want to agree scope, sources and deployment individually for your use case.
You want to plan Private AI on your own infrastructure for a small or midsized company.

chifty vs. Langdock: Langdock and chifty: the key differences
Criterion	Langdock	chifty
Focus	AI platform with chat, agents, workflows and an API.	Chat, a shared knowledge base and email work, separately or together.
Application on your infrastructure	EU cloud as standard; Langdock-managed dedicated hosting, your own cloud and on-premise are Enterprise options.	Application and knowledge base on your own infrastructure; agree the setup and operating responsibilities individually.
Local models and data flows	Check application hosting separately from model processing. Own-cloud or on-premise hosting alone does not establish exclusively local model endpoints.	Supported local models by agreement. Fully local processing requires local model endpoints and appropriately configured integrations.
Minimum size for the deployment	Langdock-managed single tenant from 2,000 seats; own cloud and on-premise from 5,000 seats according to the security page.	Individually planned for small and midsized companies too. Agree users, hardware, models and implementation in the quote.
Knowledge at work	Company knowledge for chat, agents and connected tools.	Knowledge supplies approved content to Chat and Office.
Model choice	Model-agnostic chat; check the required model and included usage in the selected plan.	Models depend on configured connections and approvals in the installation.
Integrations	Integrations and actions for connected workflows; confirm the specific application and permissions.	Knowledge: Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint and network drives. Email processing through Office.
Billing	Per-user base subscription; separate workflow and API billing rules.	Quote based on products, users, mailboxes, storage, introduction and operations.

What matters beyond the feature list.

Evaluate a Langdock alternative by the task

An AI platform can mean shared research chat, a specialist assistant or a multi-system automation. Define the outcome before selecting a product. Access to another model does not resolve unclear source ownership.

Langdock is relevant to teams rolling out chat and custom agents broadly. Consider chifty when a maintained knowledge base needs to support chat and email work. The approaches overlap, so compare the complete workflow rather than the chat interface alone.

Ask in your demo: Demonstrate the same service question as internal research and as an email draft. Which sources and steps does each require?

Private AI: distinguish deployment and scale

Langdock separates its shared EU cloud from dedicated single tenant, own cloud and on-premise. The security page lists 2,000 seats for Langdock-managed single tenant and 5,000 for own cloud or on-premise. These thresholds apply to the deployment, not to every Langdock plan.

An application server under your control does not by itself establish where prompts, document excerpts and model responses are processed. Confirm each required model endpoint and responsibility for updates, backups and monitoring.

chifty plans Private AI for small and midsized companies individually. Agree supported local models, required hardware, source connections and operating responsibilities before implementation. Include infrastructure, updates and introduction alongside licence and usage costs.

Ask in your demo: Which data leaves our infrastructure during indexing, retrieval and response generation, and which endpoint handles each step?

Langdock costs: seats, workflows and model usage

Langdock separates Chat & Agents, workflow packages, governance and API pricing. Workflow executions and the model usage they generate are separate cost items. A chat seat price alone does not describe every automation scenario.

Ask for the billing term, included usage, required add-ons and overages. For chifty, separate Chat users, Office mailboxes, Knowledge storage, implementation and operation. A price advantage cannot be established without equivalent scope.

Ask in your demo: What would this workflow cost at its expected volume and at twice that volume?

Sources, integrations and data processing

Connecting a source should cover updates, deletions and changed access rights, not just an initial import. Assign source owners and test whether removing access also changes subsequent answers.

Langdock describes dedicated Enterprise deployment options. chifty on-premise deployment and supported local models are agreed for each installation. Application hosting and processing at the AI model are separate questions. Check the endpoints and contracts actually used by each proposed configuration.

Ask in your demo: How does an answer change when its source is updated or restricted for a role?

Replace or complement: start with a bounded workflow

Moving from Langdock need not mean replacing every assistant immediately. Inventory active agents, prompts, connected sources, automations and owners. Choose a bounded workflow for a parallel evaluation.

Allow for rebuilding and approval: this comparison does not promise equivalent import of existing agents or workflows into chifty. Maintain source inventories, roles and acceptance criteria outside individual chats, then decide on further scope after the evaluation.

Ask in your demo: Which existing workflows must move, and which can remain in use initially?

04 / Put it into practice

One service case. Two routes to an answer.

Use approved sample data for a bounded comparison. These steps are an evaluation proposal, not measured vendor results.

Discuss your requirements

Use the same starting point
Provide a current service guide, an older version and a customer question to both evaluations.
Check knowledge in chat
Ask for a specific rule. Inspect the source, validity and handling of conflicting versions.
Turn knowledge into a reply
Prepare an email draft and check accuracy and the work required before human approval.
Record the effort
Document corrections, review time, executed steps and usage costs before expanding the rollout.
Verify the deployment
List the application, knowledge store, embedding and inference endpoints. Test the required configuration with approved sample data and document external connections, operating responsibilities and hardware costs.

Questions before you choose

Questions about Langdock and chifty

Is chifty a Langdock alternative for business?

chifty can be shortlisted for knowledge-grounded chat and email work. For broad agent, workflow or API adoption, evaluate the exact capabilities separately. This comparison does not claim complete interchangeability.

Can existing Langdock agents be imported into chifty?

An automatic or lossless import is not promised here. Inventory prompts, sources, actions and permissions, then establish which parts need rebuilding and which workflows should continue in parallel.

Is chifty a Langdock alternative?

chifty is an option for AI chat and company knowledge. Whether it covers your existing use depends on required agents, connections and workflows. This comparison does not claim complete feature parity.

Which solution costs less?

Comparable offers are needed. Use the same number of users and mailboxes, source volume, functions and commitment. Include model usage, introduction and operation.

How can we assess chifty for our workflow?

Bring a representative task to a demo discussion. Identify required sources, roles, outputs and decisions that need human approval. Agree the available features and deployment before introduction.

What does Private AI mean when comparing Langdock and chifty?

EU cloud as standard; Langdock-managed dedicated hosting, your own cloud and on-premise are Enterprise options. Check application hosting separately from model processing. Own-cloud or on-premise hosting alone does not establish exclusively local model endpoints. Langdock-managed single tenant from 2,000 seats; own cloud and on-premise from 5,000 seats according to the security page.

Can a smaller company plan Private AI with chifty?

Yes. chifty plans application hosting and supported local models individually for small and midsized companies. Agree user numbers, hardware, integrations, implementation and operating responsibilities in the quote. Fully local processing depends on the configured model endpoints and data connections.
