Top 10 platforms for building AI agents: what's inside each service
through the visual constructor
We looked at what is usually lost in machine collections: whether it is possible to register from Russia, what to pay for, what is really free, whether there is a Russian interface and support, where the data is hosted, what channels are available and how suitable the platform is for business. Therefore, the list turned out to be short: ten services that have tools for self-assembly of the agent inside, and not just a showcase with promises.
How the AI platforms were rated: six criteria
no-codelow-codepro-codeAvito
The sixth criterion is the placement of data. SaaS is enough for a small project, but for banks, industry, medicine, the public sector and large holdings, on-premise, hybrid circuits, compliance with FZ-152 and the availability of a solution in the Russian software registry are important. ""Try an agent today" and "embed the platform in the corporate landscape" become noticeable here.

What AI platforms are available for building agents: a list of 10 services
Below is a list of AI platforms that can be considered for agent assembly in the Russian context. Each has its own logic: some are designed for enterprise implementations and individual contracts, while others allow a small business owner to connect an agent to a website or messenger in an evening. They are adjacent within the same rating not because they are the same, but because they cover different scenarios.
Softrestchat
Softrestchat
At the start, you are given 7 days and 200 bonus credits with advanced features, including RAG. """Start" and "Standard" tariffs are linked to a specific agent: "Start" includes 200 credits per month, "Standard" — 1000 credits, RAG, SIP telephony and support for imported LLM models from OpenAI. One loan is equal to 1 ₽, replenishment is possible from 1 loan, purchased loans do not burn out, payment is made through Russian bank cards. A separate plus for support: a live operator in the "Dialogues" section works even with a zero credit balance, the number of operators is unlimited.
AgentsWorks
AgentsWorksMCP servers
The service claims access to more than 400 models without a VPN. The payment model differs from the usual subscription: it is charged only for the actual tokens. Upon registration, 50 rubles are charged, which, according to the service, is enough for about 169 questions to the agent; 22 models are available for free. For small businesses, this is a convenient testing format: you can not buy a tariff in advance, but check how much a typical dialogue with a client really costs.
Subscription
Subscription
The platform is included in the software registry under the number 30048. Support is available from 10:00 to 19:00. For complex implementations, the OFF GROUP system integrator is connected. This is an important detail: A subscription can be considered both as an independent constructor and as an entrance to a larger automation if a business needs not just a "bot answering questions", but a related CRM and accounting process.
Neurons
Neurons
Payment is available by Russian card or by invoice, there are 7 days of free access. The "Initial" tariff includes 1,000 launches per month, 3 million tokens of embedded models and 5 parallel launches. The "standard" gives 10,000 launches, 12 million tokens, 10 parallel launches and 2 hours of consultations. "Professional" includes 50,000 launches, 50 million tokens, 20 parallel launches and 5 hours of consultations. Neuro is especially interesting for teams where there is a technical specialist next to the business user.
The node
The node
There are 300+ models listed inside, including YandexGPT, GigaChat, GPT, Claude, Llama, Mistral and DeepSeek. There is a built-in RAG, servers in Russia, ready-made connectors for 1C, SAP, Oracle, Bitrix24, amoCRM and other systems, as well as a universal HTTP module. Available on-premise and white-label. The platform was created by Carprice founders, which adds to its entrepreneurial weight: the product clearly looks towards applied automation, and not just the generation of text responses.
BotHelp
BotHelp
The CREATOR tariff costs 1,599 ₽ per month for one Instagram account*. PRO starts from 1,599 rubles per month and includes all channels, including MAX, Telegram and VKontakte; the cost depends on the number of subscribers. The SCALE starts from 29,990 ₽ per month. 75,000 AI tokens are given during the trial period, 150,000 monthly for paid tariffs. One dialog is estimated at about 500-6,000 tokens, that is, 150,000 tokens correspond to about 25-300 dialogues. Payment by invoice for legal entities is available from 10,000 subscribers.
*Instagram belongs to Meta, a recognized extremist organization and banned in the Russian Federation.
Just AI Agent Platform
Just AI Agent Platform
Delivery is possible in the cloud and on-prem, SLA and dedicated implementation team are available. The platform is included in the Russian software registry. This solution is more likely for companies where the AI agent has process owners, security requirements, an integration loop, and an implementation budget, rather than just a desire to quickly test the widget on the site.
Yandex AI Studio
Yandex AI Studio
The strong side of the service is its connection to the Yandex ecosystem and the registry of Russian software. A limitation also follows from this feature: if a company has already built processes around other clouds and models, it will be necessary to estimate the cost of integration. It is logical to consider Yandex AI Studio for those who want to use AI in conjunction with the Russian B2B infrastructure of a major supplier.
GigaChat Business
GigaChat Business
On-premise deployment options are available in the PACK, hybrid, and SaaS formats. This makes GigaChat Business a candidate for organizations for which it is important to keep part of the infrastructure in its own loop. When choosing, you should separately check the available models, the limitations of a specific contract, and the requirements for integration with internal systems.
OSMI AI
OSMI AI
OSMI AI should be considered by companies that want to give business units the opportunity to collect AI scenarios themselves, but at the same time not release data and management beyond corporate rules. This is not the fastest way for a microbusiness, but it is a suitable format for organizations where regulations, responsibility, and managed scaling are important.
The main AI platforms for large companies
If you look at the main AI platforms for large businesses, the Just AI Agent Platform, OSMI AI, GigaChat Business and Yandex AI Studio are most often on the short list. They are united not so much by similar interfaces as by corporate supply logic: individual price, pilot capability, security requirements, on-premise or hybrid infrastructure, a registry of domestic software and implementation support.
For an enterprise customer, the main question rarely sounds like "where is the most beautiful designer?" More often people ask differently: who is responsible for SLA, whether it is possible to deploy the solution in a closed loop, where personal data will be stored, how the platform connects to existing systems, who accompanies the implementation, whether there are documents for purchase and whether the product will pass internal security.
In this sense, the Just AI Agent Platform is strong as a mature platform for chat, voice, and action agents with a multi-agent architecture. GigaChat Business relies on the Sberbank ecosystem and digital employee scenarios. Yandex AI Studio is interesting for companies that already use Yandex products and are waiting for the development of on-prem capabilities. OSMI AI focuses on no-code for enterprise, FZ-152 and fast launch of enterprise scenarios.
The practical advice is simple: it is better for a large company to start not with a brand selection, but with a process map. One agent for responding to knowledge base employees, an agent for processing customer requests, and an agent that launches actions in corporate systems are three different projects. Each will require their own access rights, action logs, response quality requirements, and escalation scenarios for the individual.
Popular AI platforms for small businesses and independent start-ups
For small businesses and independent start-ups, other things are more important: registration without a contract, clear payment, quick test, Russian-language interface and the ability to connect an agent to a real sales channel. This is where Softrestchat, AgentsWorks, Podpislon, Neur42, Nodul and BotHelp come into focus.
AgentsWorks is good for experimenting with different models and quickly building an agent based on a task description. The subscription is suitable for those who think of processes on a visual canvas: trigger, node, integration, action. Neuro will be interested in teams with technical expertise: when you need not only no-code, but also code, custom nodes, APIs, and flexible scripts. Nodul is closer to automating business processes, where AI is one of the elements of the chain. BotHelp fits seamlessly into the tasks of chat marketing and communication in messengers.
Small businesses should not start by asking "which platform is the best in general". It is more useful to formulate the first task: the agent answers questions about products, accepts requests from the site, qualifies leads, helps the manager, parses incoming mail or guides the client in a messenger. The more specific the first scenario is, the faster it becomes clear which popular AI platforms are really suitable.
Top AI platforms by one criterion: what is really included in the free mode
The free mode on AI platforms works in different ways. Sometimes it's a full 7 days with access to advanced functionality, sometimes initial credits, sometimes tokens, and sometimes only a demo on request. "It" is therefore not enough to compare "it is free" and "it is not free": it is important to understand whether the initial volume is enough at least to check the real scenario.
| Service | What is given at the start | What is important to check |
|---|---|---|
| Softrestchat | 7 days, 200 bonus credits, advanced functionality with RAG | How many credits are spent on a typical dialogue, and is the quality of responses appropriate for the knowledge base |
| Neurons | 7 days free of charge | Are there enough integrations and launches for the test process? |
| AgentsWorks | 50 ₽ to the account upon registration, 22 models for free | Which models are suitable for the task and how quickly tokens are spent |
| BotHelp | Trial period with 75,000 AI tokens | How many dialogues do you get with your correspondence length? |
| Just AI, OSMI AI, GigaChat Business | Demo and pilot on request, there is no public free mode | Pilot conditions, implementation cost, infrastructure requirements |
Tokens are the units into which the model divides the text of the request and response. The longer the instructions, knowledge base, and correspondence, the greater the expense. Therefore, 75,000 tokens in one service and 200 credits in another cannot be compared directly without testing the same scenario. Take 20-30 real customer requests, run them through an agent, and look at three things: the accuracy of the response, the cost of the dialogue, and the need for operator intervention.
It is especially important to be careful about the "free" of enterprise platforms. The lack of a public trial mode doesn't make them worse: it's just that their sales cycle is different. There, the free test is usually replaced by a demo, a pilot, a process survey, and an implementation calculation. This is normal for a corporation, but it's too long a path for a small business.
The best AI platforms for a specific task: summary table
AI platforms are usually selected based on the task. One service is convenient for customer support, another for internal processes, a third for corporate deployment, and a fourth for marketing chains. Below is the working table for the initial selection.
| Task | Suitable services | Why do they fit |
|---|---|---|
| Responses to clients on the website and in messengers | Softrestchat, BotHelp, AgentsWorks | There are communication channels, a quick launch, a knowledge base, or AI tokens for dialogues. |
| Accepting applications from the website | Softrestchat, Podpislon, Nodul | Integration with Bitrix24, amoCRM, 1C and data transfer scenarios are supported. |
| Automation of internal processes | Nodul, 1842, AgentsWorks | There is low-code/pro-code, API, integration, custom nodes and work with different models. |
| Corporate deployment | Just AI Agent Platform, OSMI AI, GigaChat Business, Yandex AI Studio | There is an enterprise approach, a registry of Russian software, on-premise or hybrid options. |
| Chat marketing and social media funnels | BotHelp, Podpislon, Softrestchat | There are communication scenarios, channels, triggers, and the transmission of dialogue to a person. |
If the task is how to implement AI in a business, it needs to be broken down into small scenarios. For example: reduce the load on support by 30%, reduce the response time from 15 minutes to 30 seconds, automatically create deals from requests, help managers find answers in the knowledge base, sort incoming requests by priority. The platform is easier to choose when the goal is measurable.
A good pilot lasts not for months, but for one or two weeks. During this time, you can connect the knowledge base, set up 2-3 channels, collect 100-300 test dialogues, calculate the cost and see the weaknesses. If an agent consistently answers 60-70% of typical questions without an operator, this is no longer a toy, but an economically noticeable tool.
Foreign designers: what about them in Russia
There are strong foreign designers of agents and automations in the global market: from no-code platforms to advanced frameworks for developers. But for Russian businesses in 2026, the issue usually rests not on the beauty of the interface, but on the availability of registration, payment, stability of access, the need for proxies and data placement.
Even if the service opens, there are still risks. Payment with a Russian card may not be available, a corporate account may not be possible, support is only in English, and data storage is in a foreign jurisdiction. For a private experiment, this is tolerable. For a company that transmits customer requests, personal data, commercial documents, or internal regulations to an agent, this approach requires a legal and technical assessment.
There is also a technical side. Foreign platforms often connect new models faster, offer a rich ecosystem of templates and integrations, but working through workarounds complicates operation. If an agent has to respond to clients 24/7, unstable access turns from an inconvenience into a direct operational risk. Any pause in payment or account blocking can stop the sales channel.
Therefore, it is reasonable to use foreign tools for prototyping, team training and hypothesis testing, if this does not violate the company's requirements. And for continuous work with Russian clients, payments, documents, and personal data, platforms that support Russian payment methods, Russian-language support, and clear data placement are more often chosen.
What to choose
If you need an agent for a website, Avito, Max, Telegram, or calls and integration with Bitrix24 or amoCRM, start with Softrestchat: it has a clear credit model, a 7-day trial period, 200 bonus credits, RAG, transfer of the dialog to the operator and payment in rubles. This is a good option when there is no time to figure out a complex system and you need to quickly set up an AI agent who will respond to the company's knowledge base, create applications and help managers not to waste time.
If you are building complex automations, look at Nodul and Neur42: there is more space for integrations, custom nodes, code, and bundles of multiple systems. If you need a no-code start with a large selection of models, AgentsWorks is interesting. If the task is closer to chat marketing and funnels, it is logical to test BotHelp. If you are a large company with requirements for on-premise, FZ-152, SLA and the registry of domestic software, the short list starts with Just AI Agent Platform, OSMI AI, GigaChat Business and Yandex AI Studio.
The easiest way to start is with registration and a short test on real requests.
