The AI-native option

Where Spojit fits

All three put AI steps inside otherwise linear workflows. Spojit is built the other way around: AI agents that plan, call tools, and adapt sit at the center, wrapped in durable execution, with any API reachable through Miraxa even when no connector exists. If AI doing real work is the point, that is the difference.
