Workato ONE and Chat with Work, side by side
Dimension Workato ONE Chat with Work
What it is An enterprise integration and automation platform: recipes connect apps and data, and Agent Studio builds AI agents, called genies, that chat in Slack, Teams, or Workato GO and act through skills built as recipes. AI bots and an assistant for your team's tools, as a service or on your own servers.
Bots that work by themselves Recipes start on a trigger: polling, real-time (often webhooks), scheduled, or change data capture. Genies act without a person through App Events, "triggers from external systems, such as Salesforce or Zoom", and through recipes that assign them a task, which a genie "processes the task autonomously" while the recipe waits. Bots start on a time, or when something happens: mail to their address or in Outlook, a GitHub issue, a webhook, the API, another agent, or a message in Slack, Discord, or Chatwoot. They work through the integrations you give them, on every plan and the trial.
How you set one up A genie starts from one field, "What would you like your genie to help with?", which writes its job description. Its skills and triggers are recipes, built in the recipe editor. AIRO, Workato's AI builder, designs recipes, agents, and MCP servers from a description. Say what it should do in a chat, and approve the bot on one card, or start from one of 105 recipes. Its instructions stay plain words, and it works out the steps each time: no workflow to wire.
Before it changes anything Per skill: "Require user confirmation before executing skill?" shows the action and its values and waits, when the builder picks Yes. Business approvals, in beta, send a request to a reviewer in the chat. Neither works in a task a recipe assigns: "There isn't a user present to approve the confirmation". Recipes can wait on a person with Assign task to user. Integrations start at Read. Changes ask first, shown as they will run, unless you let a bot's changes run; deleting asks unless you allow that one tool. Every change and question waiting for you, from every chat and bot, is in one queue.
Available in Europe Yes, for Enterprise customers in the EEA, through its EU data center (app.eu.workato.com). "Self-service users can't choose the region": Free and Pro sit in its US data centers. Yes, on every plan and the trial.
Where your data and the models are The EU data center is in AWS's EU Central region and holds recipes, connections, and job history. There, Workato says, "all AI model inference occurs exclusively within the EU"; its docs say genie models "respect data residency requirements where possible", and "existing recipes continue on US models" from before its EU AI launch in October 2025. Genies use Claude by default, or GPT, Azure OpenAI, or Bedrock. The app on our servers in Germany, and GPT, Gemini, and Claude, all in the EU. Web search, off by default, leaves the EU. Or on your own servers.
Self-hosting No. On-premises agents connect recipes to systems on your network; Virtual Private Workato is an add-on. Yes. Ask about self-hosting.
Price Enterprise editions by quote, Agent Studio in Workato ONE, the top one. Self-service: Free with a one-time 50,000 credits, Pro from $75 a month for 2,500 credits, both in the US. Free to start. From €20 a month for one person, and from €25 per person for teams plus VAT.
