Live on your site in 5 minutes at $29/mo — actions via MCP, not a platform to assemble.
Inkeep is an AI agent platform with a visual builder, a TypeScript SDK and an open-source core, from about $150/mo in the cloud. Command+K is the assembled product: a script tag, your documentation as knowledge, and your API exposed as a hosted MCP server the assistant uses as the signed-in user, from $29/mo.

Inkeep and Command+K both put an AI assistant grounded in your content into your product. Inkeep has evolved into an agent platform: a no-code builder and TypeScript SDK for building multi-agent support and ops workflows, from ~$150/mo in the cloud or free self-hosted (open source). Command+K is the product-shaped path: one script tag, your docs as knowledge, and your API exposed as a hosted MCP server so the assistant takes actions as the signed-in user — from $29/mo. Teams that want to engineer custom agent workflows (or self-host) pick Inkeep; teams that want an embedded assistant that answers and acts, without building agent infrastructure, pick Command+K.
Inkeep is an AI agent platform for customer support and operations teams, with a no-code visual builder, a TypeScript agent SDK, and an open-source core.
Pricing: Cloud plans start around $150/mo (plus a free tier); enterprise deployments are quote-based. An open-source self-hosted option is free.
Recurring themes from published reviews on G2, Capterra, Trustpilot and TrustRadius — with the source for each, and what we do differently.
Agents, tools and workflows are things you design in the builder or the SDK. That is the point of the platform, and it is also why the first working assistant is a project rather than an afternoon.
Templates ship configured. You paste a script tag, point it at your documentation, and the assistant infers its own playbook — changing it later is a dashboard edit, not a rebuild.
The open-source path is genuinely free of licence cost, and genuinely yours to run: infrastructure, upgrades, model keys, and the on-call that comes with a customer-facing surface.
Hosted on Cloudflare with the gateway, credits, approvals and OAuth handled. If self-hosting is a hard requirement, Inkeep is the better answer and we will say so.

Unpredictable bills are the single most common complaint across this whole category, not just Inkeep. Here is why AI support bills multiply — and how prepaid credits with a hard cap remove the problem.
| Capability | Inkeep | Command+K |
|---|---|---|
| Docs-grounded answers with citations | Yes | Yes |
| Takes actions via tools | tools you build into agents | your API as a hosted MCP server |
| Time to first live assistant | Hours-to-days of agent design | ~5 minutes (script tag + JWT) |
| Entry price (cloud) | ~$150/mo | $29/mo |
| Open-source / self-host option | Yes | No |
| Your API published as an MCP server for Claude/ChatGPT | tools stay inside the agents you build | same tools everywhere |
| Meter & bill AI usage to your customers | No | Yes |
| End-user identity (JWT, acts as signed-in user) | Configurable per build | Built in |

Yes, for the embedded-assistant use case. Both ground an AI assistant in your docs and support tool actions. Command+K is self-serve from $29/mo with a 5-minute setup; Inkeep is an agent platform from ~$150/mo cloud (or free self-hosted) aimed at teams building custom agent workflows.
No. Command+K is a hosted platform. If self-hosting is a hard requirement, Inkeep's open-source stack is the better fit. If you'd rather not run agent infrastructure, Command+K's hosted approach gets you live faster.
Yes — Inkeep supports tools inside agents you build with their SDK or visual builder. The difference is packaging: Command+K turns your existing OpenAPI spec into a hosted MCP server with per-user auth, so the same tools work in your widget and in Claude/ChatGPT without building an agent.
