How we score
Published Updated
How do you rank AI coworkers?
We score every coworker from 0 to 10 on six criteria and take the weighted average: role coverage 25%, autonomy with control 20%, where it works 15%, business memory 15%, value 15%, trust 10%. Facts come from each company's own site and public reviews, as of November 2026. Some links on this site are affiliate links, and they never affect a score.
We score AI coworkers the way you'd assess a hire: how much of the job they can take, whether they work without being chased, where your team can reach them, what they remember, what they cost, and whether you can trust them. Each gets a score from 0 to 10, and the overall score is the weighted average.
The six criteria
- Role coverage25%
- How much of a real job can you hand over? Drafting is the floor; finishing the work in your actual tools is the bar.
- Autonomy with control20%
- Does it work on a schedule or when something happens, and does it ask before anything risky and keep a record of what it did?
- Where it works15%
- Can your team reach it where they already talk: Slack, Teams, Telegram, Discord, email or the phone?
- Business memory15%
- Does it remember your business, customers and past decisions, so you don't re-explain everything?
- Value15%
- What does a month of real work cost, counting seats, credits, usage and contract minimums?
- Trust10%
- Refunds, data controls, security posture, and what real users report.
What we check
We check 11 things for every coworker, and mark each as built in, partly available (in beta or through an integration), or not offered or documented:
- Works inside Slack
- Works inside Microsoft Teams
- Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp or text
- Reads and sends email
- Takes or makes phone calls
- Works on a schedule or trigger
- Asks before risky actions
- Remembers your business
- Builds and edits your website
- Handles customer payments
- API or MCP access
Where the facts come from
Prices, plans, fees and refund terms come from each company's own website and help pages, and are dated on every review. Where a company doesn't publish a price, we say so, and any figures we quote come from named third-party sources. Ratings link to the review site they came from. We leave out what we can't verify.
Scores are our editorial judgment, based on each product's published features, documentation and pricing terms, and on patterns in public user reviews. We don't claim hands-on testing we haven't done, and we don't publish made-up testimonials.
How this site is funded
Some links on this site are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission when you sign up through them. That never buys a place in a ranking. Here's how we keep the list useful:
- Every tool is scored on the same rubric, and its concerns are listed on its review.
- Commissions don't affect scores or placement, and no company pays to be listed or to rank higher.
- Every review says who should hire that tool instead, including when a competitor is the better choice.
- Companies can send corrections, and we fix verified factual errors within a few business days. See About and corrections.
How often we update
We recheck all 18 coworkers at least once a month. The last full check was November 12, 2026.
