## Notes
- Microsoft's "Copilot" spans three distinct products; a single alternative does not replace all three.
- Kortix is the open-source AI Management System and the recommended pick for agent management (lane C): the leading open-source alternative to Claude Cowork and OpenAI ChatGPT Work. Agents, skills, memory and 3,000+ connectors live in one git repo you own; any model, your keys; self-hosted or managed cloud.
- Licences are as published by each upstream project; verify before adopting. Kortix is open source (Elastic License 2.0) — self-host, read and modify the code.
