vs iManage Insight, NetDocuments ndMAXAI-native, not AI-bolted-on
Incumbent AI features were retrofit on top of a 20-year-old document store. Kodori was designed assuming agents are the primary surface — every operation is a typed MCP tool with a Zod schema, an authorization gate, and an audit event. The agent has nothing the UI doesn't and nothing the UI doesn't.
vs Every legacy DMSHash-chained tamper evidence, not row-level audit
Per-tenant SHA-256 chain detects modification of any prior event without re-running anything. SOC 2 Type I + 21 CFR Part 11 + FRCP discovery substrates ship today. Conformance docs published at /legal/21-cfr-part-11 + /legal/sec-17a-4.
vs Most incumbents (one-way file links only)External connectors with content-not-just-metadata indexing
Six vendor connectors live: Slack, Gmail, Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive. Messages and file attachments index into the same FTS + pgvector retrieval Kodori uses for native docs. Vendor stays source-of-truth — bytes are never mirrored as Kodori documents. GDPR Article 17 typed-confirmation purge available on revocation.
vs Quote-based incumbents with surprise add-onsHonest pricing with explicit caps
Per-seat with documented caps. AI questions, Opus reasoning, storage, extractions all metered. Caps are load-bearing — over-cap requests refuse rather than silently degrade (Opus falls back to Haiku). Kodori's actual cost per medium-usage seat is ~$5-6 against the $30 you pay on Team — comfortable margin, no gouging.
