Square8
AI workers hired into a business role, with their own name, email address and phone number. They work in your tools, report to a human manager, log every action and run on Swiss or EU infrastructure.
Spinnable and Square8 share the idea of AI workers with a role and an identity. The difference is how they are built: Spinnable is a self-serve catalogue, while Square8 offers ready-made roles that go live in 30 minutes and builds every other role into your processes with forward-deployed engineers, hosts in Switzerland or the EU and can run on your own LLM.
AI workers hired into a business role, with their own name, email address and phone number. They work in your tools, report to a human manager, log every action and run on Swiss or EU infrastructure.
AI workers you "hire" into roles, with their own email and messaging identity, approvals and EU hosting, chosen from a role catalogue and paid by credits.

Both offer AI workers with a role and an identity. Spinnable is a self-serve catalogue. Square8 offers ready-made roles that go live in 30 minutes and custom roles built with you in 4 to 6 weeks by a Square8 engineer and customer success manager, hosted in Switzerland or the EU.
Square8 runs on Swiss and EU infrastructure and can run on your own infrastructure or LLM. Spinnable states EU hosting for its app and database, with some AI providers in the US.
Yes. Every Square8 AI worker can run in a sandbox on test data with no write access, and custom workers replay your past cases before go-live.
