Langdock Per-seat company AI workspace, over 40 models, hosted in the EU.
What Forgeron3 changes.
Two approaches, one need.
Langdock, a Berlin-based company, offers an AI workspace for the whole business: a chat open to more than 40 models, custom agents, workflows and an API. Its current price list shows two per-seat plans, Langdock Core and Langdock Work, and an Enterprise offer on quote.
Langdock and Forgeron3 both cover custom agents, email and calendar, meeting notes, scheduled routines and MCP connection. The gap lies in the entry price, whether there is a free plan, where data is hosted and the level of governance the business expects.
Point by point.
