AEQI vs Patricia
August 22, 2026 · Luca Eich

Choose Patricia if your company already exists, with people and a chat app everyone lives in, and you want meetings recapped, work tracked and reports run on a schedule.
Choose AEQI if you are starting the company: a website today, and a team that finds leads and writes the emails for you to approve.
What Patricia is
Patricia calls itself “the proactive AI coworker for your whole team”. It is built for solo founders up to teams of around fifty, and lives inside Slack and Teams: it records and recaps meetings with a decision log, spots work before anyone files a ticket, runs scheduled tasks such as weekly reports and invoicing, and connects to more than a thousand tools. It asks for approval before publishing or spending anything. In mid-September 2026 a Founding Plan at $45 a month covered the whole team.
Side by side
| Question | Patricia | AEQI |
|---|---|---|
| Who it's for | Teams up to about fifty that already run their company in Slack or Teams | First-time and solo founders starting a business |
| Where it lives | Inside your Slack or Teams workspace | A web app where you talk with your team, and your website at yourname.aeqi.ai |
| Agents and roles | One coworker handling many kinds of work | Eleven AI agents, one job each: the website, sales, marketing, finance and more |
| Approval | Asks before publishing or spending | Every email and post waits for you to Approve, Edit or Skip; so does spending money |
| Memory | What it has read across your channels, plus a meeting decision log | One memory the whole team reads and adds to |
| Works with | Slack and Teams; over a thousand tools, e.g. Google Ads, HubSpot, Notion, Stripe | Gmail, Calendar, Slack, Notion, Stripe and more |
| Hosting and data | Not stated in what we checked | Its own server for your company alone, hosted in Germany (4 GB of memory on Start) |
| Pricing | $45 a month per workspace, all seats included, 20,000 credits that roll over | $120 a month (€100 in Europe) with 5,000 credits a month. Bigger plans at $300 and $750 |
| Trial | 50,000 free credits on signup, no card | 7 days free, card required, nothing charged today; cancel anytime, no contract |
Patricia is the better choice when
- Your company already exists and the gap is follow-through: nobody recaps the meeting, files the follow-up or sends the invoice on time.
- You want the work to happen inside the chat app your team already lives in.
- You want a thousand-plus tool connections and a lower price, with free credits to start.
AEQI is the better choice when
- There is no team or chat workspace yet: you need a website and your first leads.
- You want a team with one job each — the website, sales, marketing, finance — and one memory they share, rather than one coworker.
- You want your company on a server of its own, hosted in Germany.
