Why developers choose Widgent
Tools make it an agent, not a bot
SiteSpeakAI answers questions. Widgent executes actions. Define a tool that navigates your app, fetches live data from your API, or updates a user record — and the AI calls it at the right moment. That's the gap between a chatbot and an agent.
BYOK — you own the LLM relationship
SiteSpeakAI is the middleman on every AI call. Widgent is not. You connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or OpenRouter key. You see exactly what you're spending. The cost scales with your usage, not with SiteSpeakAI's pricing model.
Your agent knows who is chatting
SiteSpeakAI has no user identity. Widgent lets your backend mint a signed JWT per user — the agent receives it and can be given full context: plan tier, permissions, account data. Useful for any personalized or access-controlled interaction.
Headless — build any UI you want
SiteSpeakAI gives you a chat bubble. Widgent gives you headless mode: the AI infrastructure runs in the background while you build whatever UI fits your product. Drawer, panel, inline command palette — your choice.
