Lotics vs Software with built-in AI

Software with built-in AI is ready-made management software, such as MISA AMIS, Base, 1Office or Odoo, with the vendor's own AI assistant added to each feature. In Lotics, the AI you choose does the whole job on the whole company's records, from data entry to documents.

Updated October 2026. Each fact about Software with built-in AI cites its source.

Choose Software with built-in AI when

  • The way the company works matches the ready-made modules, such as MISA's accounting or 1Office's HR.
  • The AI only needs to help with the tasks the software already defines, such as posting invoices or reading CVs.
  • The team has used that software for years and knows how it works.

Choose Lotics when

  • The company's core work matches no ready-made module.
  • You want AI to do a whole job, from reading the documents customers send to drafting the invoice, not just help with each step.
  • You want the ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini your team already uses, not one vendor's own AI.

Where they differ

AI as a feature, or AI doing the whole job

A job like entering an order or issuing an invoice runs through several steps and screens. When the AI only helps with one step on one screen, people still join the steps together and copy figures from one place to the next.

The AI works inside the features the vendor defined: MISA AVA posts incoming invoices, reconciles bank statements and drafts payment-reminder emails in AMIS Accounting. Work outside those features, the AI does not do. Source: MISA AVA in AMIS Accounting
Lotics
The AI you choose does a whole job on the company's records: it reads the documents customers send, enters the order, checks the figures and drafts the invoice, then a person reviews it.

The AI you choose

Your team already uses ChatGPT or Claude. When that same AI works on the company's records, nobody has to learn each software's own assistant, or copy answers from a chat window into the system.

Lotics
ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini connect with your own account and can do anything you can, including changing the system.

The way the company works

The AI can only work within what the software allows. When the company's core work fits no module, such as a forwarder's shipments, containers and debit notes, the software's AI has nowhere to work either.

Lotics
Your AI builds the tables and apps around how the company works, from the files it already uses, and changes them whenever you ask.

Moving from Software with built-in AI to Lotics

  1. Export the data to move to Excel from the software you use, or take it through the vendor's API.
  2. Hand those files to your AI (ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini) with the setup prompt.
  3. It builds the tables, apps and document templates in Lotics from the columns in each file, then imports the data.
  4. Keep that software for what it does well, such as accounting or HR. The operations still done in Excel and Zalo move to Lotics, and AI enters the data from the exported files.

Ready-made management software, such as accounting, HR or sales, with the vendor's own AI assistant added. The AI helps inside each feature: posting an invoice, reading a CV, summarising a meeting.

It is when the work you need AI for sits inside a feature the vendor built. When a job crosses modules, starts from documents customers send, or follows the company's own way of working, the software's AI has nowhere to work, and people still join the steps.

Not in that sense. Lotics is not a set of modules with an assistant added. It is where the AI you choose builds the system around how the company works, then works in it every day.

Yes. Accounting stays in MISA, or HR in 1Office. Operations such as orders, documents and cross-checks move to Lotics, where AI does the manual work.

Tell the AI and the system changes with it, no developer needed.

Yes. The Lotics team builds and keeps the system up to date for you, from $60 a month, with a 3-month minimum.

Start free. Paid plans from $60 a month, with unlimited users. Your own ChatGPT or Claude uses no AI Credits.
