Skills-first, 70% cheaper — versus the rest of the spectrum.

The autonomous-software market spans from $50/mo "run my business while I sleep" tools to $10M-a-year enterprise modernization platforms. We sit in the middle — skills-first builds for founders, dev shops, and product teams who want a real product they own.

Below is the honest comparison: what each platform does well, what it doesn't, and which door fits your situation.

— OUR POSITION

1nceptionAI

"Slash 70% of dev costs. Build skills-first."

Skills are the unit of construction; code is the override. Founders, dev shops, and product teams who want a real product they own — 70% less dev cost, maintenance baked in, IP fully theirs.

— BLITZY AI

Blitzy

"AI-powered autonomous software development, built for the enterprise."

Autonomous code generation at enterprise scale. Reverse-engineers existing codebases, then orchestrates thousands of agents in parallel to generate validated code. Built for million-line modernization, not zero-to-one MVPs.

— POLSIA

Polsia

"AI that runs your company while you sleep."

An "AI co-founder" that plans, codes, markets, and operates a business end-to-end inside Polsia's stack. Maximally autonomous, hosted, opinionated — closer to a managed micro-business than a delivered product.
