Steno vs Alternatives
Understanding how Steno.ai differs from other AI solutions will help you make an informed decision about the right platform for your business.
Steno.ai vs Custom GPTs
While custom GPTs are a wonderful tool for personal use, they are not designed for commercial application. Our platform is a proprietary, enterprise-grade solution that provides:
Commercial-Grade Control & Security
We offer robust user authentication, secure access, and the ability to gate content behind a paywall to protect your IP.
True Brand Representation
An AI Twin is a fully branded experience, embedded in your website or app with your colors, style, and unique voice. It is not an OpenAI-branded interface.
Proprietary Technology
We have developed a proprietary tech stack and infrastructure specifically for this use case, optimized for low-latency, real-time voice conversations.
Recently, our partner ElevenLabs highlighted Steno.ai in a press release as leading the market with the best solution in this category.
Done-For-You Service & Support
The AI landscape changes daily. Our platform is a fully managed, white-glove solution. We handle all setup, updates, and maintenance so your AI Twin always represents your brand with the best available technology.
Steno.ai vs Standard Chatbots
Traditional chatbots are limited to text-only interactions and often feel robotic. Steno AI Twins offer:
Multimodal Interactions: Seamless real-time voice and text in a unified interface
Voice Cloning: Your AI speaks with your actual voice, not a generic text-to-speech system
Deep Knowledge: Trained on your comprehensive content library, not just FAQ scripts
Emotional Intelligence: Conversational AI that understands context and nuance
Proactive Engagement: Can guide conversations, make offers, and suggest next steps
Steno.ai vs DIY Solutions
Building your own AI solution requires significant technical expertise, ongoing maintenance, and substantial costs:
Technical Complexity: Requires ML engineers, infrastructure setup, model fine-tuning
Ongoing Maintenance: AI technology evolves rapidly; keeping your solution current is resource-intensive
Voice Quality: Achieving low-latency, high-fidelity voice experiences is expensive and technically challenging
Security & Compliance: Implementing enterprise-grade security and compliance measures requires specialized expertise
Time to Market: Building from scratch takes months; Steno delivers in 10 business days
With Steno.ai, you get enterprise-grade technology, white-glove service, and continuous updates without the technical burden.
