What is the main difference between AEQI and Dock?

Dock is a multiplayer workspace where a named crew of agents (Leni, Dov, Nella and others) joins the human team you already have, priced by the actions the crew takes. AEQI is for a founder starting out: a website today at yourname.aeqi.ai and eleven AI agents with one job each, on a server of the company's own in Germany.

Does Dock publish its pricing?

Yes. In mid-September 2026: Free at $0 a month (10,000 actions, 3 agents, 6 humans), Pro at $19 (100,000 actions, 10 agents, 20 humans) and Scale at $49 (1,000,000 actions, 30 agents, 60 humans). AEQI charges $120 a month (€100 in Europe), with 5,000 credits a month, and more credits cost $24 per 1,000 on every plan.

Mike Molinet, previously co-founder and COO of Branch.io and a co-founder of Thena.ai, and Govind Kavaturi, also a Thena.ai co-founder. In mid-September 2026 Dock was a team of two in San Francisco, in Y Combinator's Summer 2026 batch.

AEQI vs Dock

A long marble pier over the still basin, the gold ring whole beyond its end.

Choose Dock if you already have a small team and want a named crew of agents to join it, priced by actions, with a free plan to start.

Choose AEQI if you are starting the company: you want a website today and a team that finds leads and writes the emails for you to approve.

What Dock is

Dock, at trydock.ai, calls itself a “multiplayer workspace for agents and humans”. It is built by Mike Molinet and Govind Kavaturi, both co-founders of Thena.ai, in Y Combinator’s Summer 2026 batch. You assemble a crew of named agents — Leni, Dov, Nella and others — each on a model you pick (Claude, OpenAI, Kimi, GLM), always on, with memory that persists between sessions. Pricing is public: Free, Pro at $19 a month and Scale at $49.

Dock is the better choice when

You already have a small team and want agents to join it for outbound, content and admin, in the tools you already use.
You want to start free, with no card: 10,000 actions a month, 3 agents, 6 humans.
You want to pick the model for each agent, from Claude and GPT to Kimi and GLM, or bring your own hardware.

AEQI is the better choice when

You are starting the company, not adding to one: your website is live today at yourname.aeqi.ai.
You want a team already in place, one job each, instead of assembling a crew for every goal.
You want every email and post to wait for you to approve, edit or skip it.
You want a server of your company’s own, hosted in Germany.
