Which AI can run a whole job for you?

Most of us have handed an AI one task. Orchestration is handing it a whole job: one agent splits the work across sub-agents and hands you one finished result. Here is where each of the four big products stands, what it costs, and whether it can reach your CRM.

Checked against each vendor's own pages on October 14, 2026. Every cell links to its source. Prices and plans change often, so click through before you buy.

Before you open any of them: write four lines

The tool matters less than the job you hand it. A vague job burns money. A job with no finish line keeps going.

  1. 01The jobWhat gets produced, in one sentence.
  2. 02The whyWhat it is for, so it can make the small calls without you.
  3. 03GuardrailsWhat it may not touch, spend, send, or decide.
  4. 04DoneWhat finished looks like, so it knows when to stop.

One rule for deciding what to hand off: if a mistake throws an error, delegate it. If a mistake looks like success, like a CRM update that silently fails, check the result yourself.
