Kore.ai vs Sistava

Kore.ai builds enterprise agentic AI. Its agent platform is the programmable base, AI for Service covers contact centers, quality assurance and proactive outreach, and AI for Work covers employee-facing HR, IT, recruiting, finance and legal work plus enterprise search. Prebuilt applications exist for banking, healthcare and retail. It is a platform you build on, deployed by companies with the engineering and procurement capacity to do that. Sistava ships employees that already work when you hire them.

> **Bottom line:** Sistava is a hire, not a build. You pick a role, connect tools, and the employee starts, rather than designing an agent before anything happens.

## Profile

- **Pricing:** Enterprise only, quoted after a demo. No published tiers and no self-serve signup.
- **Founded:** 2014, Orlando, Florida
- **Funding:** $150M Series D (Jan 2024, led by FTV Capital with NVIDIA participation). $296M+ total raised (per PitchBook).
- **Focus:** Enterprise agentic AI platform for customer service and employee productivity

## Why choose Sistava as an alternative to Kore.ai

- Sistava is a hire, not a build. You pick a role, connect tools, and the employee starts, rather than designing an agent before anything happens.
- Sistava publishes plans and lets you start on a free tier the same day. Kore.ai runs through a demo and a quote before you see a number.
- Sistava spans support, sales, marketing and operations under one workspace with a leader that delegates, so one platform covers the functions a small company has nobody for.
- Sistava gives each employee a task board, a work journal and layered memory, which is how a non-technical owner supervises work without a platform team in between.
- Kore.ai is the stronger enterprise choice, and not narrowly. It is recognized as a leader by Gartner, Forrester and Everest Group, runs in Fortune 500 environments, and offers governance depth we do not target.

## What is Sistava?

Sistava is an AI workforce platform where you hire AI employees and work with them through conversation. Tell an employee what you need in plain language, and Sistava handles the setup behind the scenes, including the tools, context, and team coordination needed for the work. You do not need to learn AI configuration or build workflows first. You can start with the work you want done, stay involved in the decisions that matter, and see how your team is moving forward.
