Dialogflow alternative

no intent trees, no training data — and the rest of the stack Dialogflow leaves to you.

Dialogflow is Google's conversational AI — ES for simple bots, CX for enterprise contact centers, with 30+ language NLU, telephony, and live-agent handoff powering some of the largest call centers in the world. Choose Dialogflow CX for structured voice and telephony at scale. Choose TinyAgents for a different approach: LLMs (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini) that understand context without intent trees or training phrases, connected to forms, data, workflows, and email — and at 10K sessions/mo, $149/month vs Dialogflow's ~$2,000+ before Google Cloud costs.

Where it fits

Agents don't live in isolation. They live next to the data.

TinyAgents shares the data layer with forms, tables, workflows, email. No 'connect Airtable' step in your agent setup.

FAQ

Questions worth asking before you switch.

How is TinyAgents different?

+

Agents in TinyCommand have native access to your forms, database, and email — same product, same auth. Most agent platforms require you to set up each integration separately. Plus per-run pricing, not per-credit.

Are these real autonomous agents?

+

Multi-step agents with tool use, memory, conditional logic. They decide which tool to call, retry on failure, escalate to humans. Same paradigm as Lindy/Gumloop.

Can I bring my own model?

+

Yes — Claude is default, but you can route to OpenAI, Gemini, or your own provider key.

Observability?

+

Every run shows the full execution trace — which model, what prompt, what tool calls, what response, with timing. Failed runs surface the partial output. Replay any run.

What's in the free tier?

+

Generous run quota. Pro at $49/mo unlocks the full bundle (agents + forms + tables + workflows + email).
