Provision

Comparison

Provision vs Hyperagent

Hyperagent and Provision are both 'AI agents that do real work' — but they approach the problem from opposite ends. Hyperagent is prompt-first: type a task into a giant input box, get back a finished deliverable in 20 minutes. Provision is channel-first: hire named agents with email inboxes who live in your Slack/Telegram/Discord and accept work the same way human teammates do.

How they actually differ

The five or six dimensions that matter most when teams pick one.

Channel-first vs prompt-first

Hyperagent's signature interaction is the giant prompt input on the homepage — 'What's the task?' — alongside example recipes (prospect outreach, listing kits, market research). You drop a prompt, the agent works for 20 minutes, you get a deliverable. Provision's signature interaction is messaging an agent in Slack the same way you'd message a colleague: 'hey @buzz can you dig into competitive pricing?' The agent has memory, an email address, and an identity that persists across requests.

Identity and persistence

Hyperagent agents are largely task-bound — you spawn one for a job, get the output, move on. Provision agents are persistent named entities (Buzz, Max, Echo, Sage in the demo) with channel handles, email addresses, and accumulating memory. They handle multi-step, multi-day work that feels more like an ongoing role than a one-shot prompt.

Channel coverage

Both ship a Slack integration. Provision adds Telegram, Discord, and a Web Chat widget you can embed. If your team is on Slack only, the channel story is comparable. If you have Telegram, Discord, or want a public-facing chat, Provision covers more surface.

Email inbox per agent

Hyperagent doesn't ship email-per-agent — outputs are delivered as files or dashboard cards. Provision gives every agent a real @provisionagents.com address so they can be the actual sender or recipient of email, with full deliverability handled. If your work is heavy on outbound outreach or inbox triage, Provision is structured for it.

Open source vs closed

Hyperagent is closed-source SaaS. Provision's core is MIT-licensed and on GitHub — auditable and self-hostable. For teams with compliance or data-sovereignty constraints, that's not a small detail.

Pricing model

Provision is a flat $99/mo per-team subscription. Hyperagent uses per-task or contact-sales pricing. The flat price gives you predictable budgeting and unlimited usage at the team level; per-task pricing aligns cost with output but makes spend less predictable.

When Hyperagent is the better choice

  • Your workflow is prompt-and-go: drop a task, get a deliverable, done.
  • You want polished pre-built recipes (prospect outreach, listing kit, market research).
  • Per-task pricing lines up better with how you think about agent ROI.

When Provision is the better choice

  • You want an agent that lives in your team channels, not a separate app.
  • Each agent should have an email inbox, a persistent identity, and accumulating memory.
  • Telegram, Discord, or Web Chat coverage matters for your audience.
  • You need open source / self-host as a fallback or compliance option.
  • Flat $99/mo is easier to budget than per-task pricing.

FAQ

Can I use Hyperagent and Provision together?
Yes. Many teams use a prompt-first system for one-shot deliverables (Hyperagent, ChatGPT, Cursor) and Provision for persistent agents that live in Slack and email. They're complementary more than they overlap.
Is Hyperagent built on OpenClaw?
No — Hyperagent uses its own agent infrastructure. Provision is built on the open-source OpenClaw harness, which means the agent capabilities are inspectable and you can fall back to self-hosting.
Which has better Slack integration?
Both ship native Slack OAuth. The difference is what the agent does there. Hyperagent's agent in Slack is a thin wrapper that mostly relays you back to its prompt-and-output model. Provision's agent participates in channel conversations like a teammate, with persistent identity and memory across messages.
Does Hyperagent give agents email inboxes?
Not as a public feature. Provision provisions a real email address per agent and handles deliverability. If email is core to your workflow, that's a hard requirement that only Provision satisfies.
Why is Provision $99/mo flat?
Predictability. Most teams don't want to game per-task spend. The $99 covers the runtime, browser, inbox, and channel infrastructure — and you bring your own ChatGPT or Claude subscription at no markup.
