Kikou vs Power Automate: Complete Comparison

Microsoft Power Automate is the natural choice inside the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, but Kikou is built for agentic AI: native LLM-powered agents, decision-making workflows, and transparent pricing that work with any stack. While Power Automate excels at Microsoft-centric approvals and desktop RPA, Kikou provides intelligent, context-aware AI agents for complex, cross-system business processes.
