When to look beyond Sundae
An early-access personal agent to investigate with reversible, low-sensitivity tasks before delegating business work. Still, teams should test alternatives when pricing, data controls, output style, integrations or trial limits make a different product more practical.
Keep, add or replace?
Keep Sundae if it meets the acceptance checks for your repeated work. Add another tool when it fills one missing capability. Replace it only after a same-work test covers results, total cost and the migration burden.
Before moving the workflow
- For automation ai: Use least-privilege credentials and reversible tasks. Test approval, failure, logs and stop controls. Price operations, retries and human exception handling.
- Run the current and proposed routes on the same approved input. Record accepted results, corrections, reviewer time and total cost; keep vendor claims separate.
- Keep the original files and current workflow available. Check data export, deletion, cancellation and connector revocation before retiring the old service.
