# ErgoAI and AI agents — what they can do

> What each tool does, how ErgoAI and your AI agents differ, and which screens have an AI button of their own.

Last updated: 2026-10-27

**ErgoAI**, inside Ergothiki, and your **AI agents** — the AI you already use, Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot for example, over MCP — work with the same tools. They act with your role's rights and only in the areas the office has opened. The tables on this page are drawn from Ergothiki's tools themselves: a new tool shows up here on its own.

### How they differ

| Topic | AI agents (MCP) | ErgoAI |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Where they work | In your own AI, connected to Ergothiki over MCP | Inside Ergothiki, from the bar at the bottom of every screen or full screen |
| Who pays | The plan's same monthly credits | The office's credits; Fast costs less |
| Approval | Sending, publishing, payments and expenses: a preview and your own confirmation | Whatever it writes, changes or sends comes up as a card you approve |
| What they know | What you tell them in the conversation | Also the record of the page you have open, and up to five more |
| General questions | With its own tools | General mode, with a web search, without the office's data |
| History | What it records goes into the history under your name | What it records goes into the history under your name |

### AI buttons on the screens

Besides the conversation, some screens have an AI button of their own. You press it, you see the result before you keep it, and it is paid from the office's credits.
