Honest Comparison

They sell the kitchen.
We deliver the meal.

Beam AI gives you a platform to build your own AI agents. We give you pre-built agents that are ready to deploy today — and they can meet your people face-to-face.


Differentiator 1

Pre-Built Agents vs Build-Your-Own

Beam gives you tools to construct an agent from scratch. We give you a finished agent for your industry — pick a bundle, upload your documents, deploy.

Beam AI

  • You build the workflow from templates and SOP documents
  • "Pilot to production in 4 weeks" with their solutions team
  • Visual flow builder — powerful, but requires process design skill
  • 27 named agents, but each one needs configuration before it runs
  • Best if you have an internal ops team to design the workflow
VS

AI Screening Tools

  • 10 pre-built industry bundles — the workflow is already configured
  • Deploy today. Upload your documents, Maya runs the workflow.
  • No flow builder needed — the bundle defines which tools run and in what order
  • 51 tools already wired into each bundle. You pick the industry, not the tools.
  • Built for one-person decisions — no ops team required

What this means in practice: A real estate agency using Beam needs to design their buyer qualification workflow, configure the agent, test it, and iterate — with help from Beam's solutions team. With us, they activate the Real Estate bundle, upload their property listings into the knowledge base, and Maya starts qualifying buyers the same day.


Differentiator 2

A Visible Agent vs an Invisible One

Beam's agents work behind the scenes — text and API only. The person on the other end never sees the agent. Maya shows up face-to-face on any device.

Beam AI

  • Text and API only — back-office automation
  • No video avatar of any kind
  • No face-to-face interaction with the second party
  • The person being screened, qualified, or onboarded never sees the agent
  • Processes documents. Does not conduct conversations.
VS

AI Screening Tools

  • Two-way interactive video — Maya talks AND listens in real time
  • One-way video — pre-recorded presentations in 70+ languages
  • Async video interview — record, transcribe, and score automatically
  • Avatar is optional on every bundle — straight workflow also available
  • Conducts live conversations while running workflows simultaneously

Three layers running at the same time

1
Avatar Maya appears face-to-face — talks, listens, responds naturally on any device
2
Knowledge Search Searches YOUR business documents mid-conversation for specific answers
3
Workflow Execution Scores, assesses, generates documents, qualifies — all during the same conversation

Example — Real Estate: A buyer visits the agency's website. Maya greets them face-to-face, asks what they're looking for, searches the agency's own property listings for matches, presents options, zooms into a specific property when asked, qualifies the buyer as Hot/Warm/Cold — and the human agent only meets qualified leads. All three layers working simultaneously in one conversation.


Differentiator 3

Both Agents Learn. Different Approach.

Beam claims "self-learning agents." We have recursive memory through a knowledge graph. Different implementation — same outcome. The agent gets smarter with every interaction.

Beam AI — Prompt Optimisation

  • Thumbs up/down feedback on agent responses
  • AI rewrites prompts based on feedback
  • Validation step before deploying changes
  • "5% to 100% accuracy in 30 seconds"
  • Optimises HOW the agent asks — the prompts improve
VS

AI Screening Tools — Knowledge Accumulation

  • Knowledge graph stores entities, relationships, and patterns
  • Session continuity preserves context across conversations
  • Every interaction adds to the knowledge base automatically
  • Facts compound — Maya retrieves and builds on prior knowledge
  • Expands WHAT the agent knows — the knowledge grows

The difference: Beam optimises the questions. We accumulate the answers. Both approaches produce an agent that improves over time. Ours is arguably more durable — knowledge persists even if prompts change. The graph remembers what was learned last month, last quarter, across every conversation.

Choose Beam AI if you...

  • Are an enterprise with SAP, Oracle, or Workday integrations
  • Need SOC 2 or ISO 27001 compliance certification
  • Want to build custom agents from scratch with a visual flow builder
  • Need invoice reconciliation, claims processing, or order management
  • Have an internal ops team to design and manage workflows
  • Process documents in the back office — no person-facing interaction needed

Choose AI Screening Tools if you...

  • Want a pre-built agent for your industry — ready to deploy today
  • Need the agent to meet people face-to-face via video avatar
  • Screen, qualify, assess, or onboard people before committing your time
  • Are a small business or solo entrepreneur — one-person decision
  • Want to try before you buy — free trial, no demo call, no account
  • Need 30 languages across Southeast Asia, South Asia, and beyond
  • Want to license the platform and serve your own clients as a partner

The short version: If your problem is processing invoices, reconciling payments, or managing order fulfilment — Beam is built for that. If your problem is qualifying a buyer, screening a person, conducting a patient intake, or presenting your services to a prospect before you commit your own time — that is what Maya does. She shows up, runs the workflow, and gives you a structured result. Beam's agents never meet the person. Maya does.

AI Screening Tools provides pre-built AI agent bundles for 10 industries including HR and hiring, real estate, legal, healthcare, insurance, property management, financial advisory, education, travel, and BPO operations. Each bundle is a pre-configured combination of workflow tools that Maya orchestrates to complete industry-specific tasks. Businesses deploy a bundle by uploading their documents into the knowledge base — Maya searches those documents in real time during conversations and workflow execution. The optional two-way video avatar layer enables face-to-face interactions where Maya talks, listens, and responds naturally while simultaneously running workflow tools and searching business documents. This three-layer architecture — avatar, knowledge search, and workflow execution running in the same conversation — is not available from any other platform. 51 tools across 10 categories cover screening, qualification, assessment, intake, document generation, social intelligence, knowledge extraction, and compliance tracking. All bundles support 30 languages and pay-as-you-go pricing with no long-term commitment required.
