Limova Eight ready-made AI agents, on a flat fee for 5 users.
What Forgeron3 changes.
Two approaches, one need.
Limova, published by KAINOTOM.IA in Nice, offers eight ready-made AI agents: Tom on the phone, John for marketing, Charly as a general assistant, Lou for SEO, Elio for sales, Manue for accounting, Julia for legal and Rony for recruitment. Its Essentiel and Pro offers are monthly flat fees for 5 users, with a 7-day trial.
Forgeron3 also has business assistants in its catalogue, but the core of the platform is building assistants on your own data: email, calendar, meetings and documents, from a free plan. So the comparison is between two ways to start: take agents that are already set up, or build them around your tools.
Point by point.

Its strengths.
Limova covers tasks that few platforms handle: a phone agent, Tom, who answers calls in 140 languages on the Pro offer, and a marketing agent that produces posts and images. You can also run it from WhatsApp, with up to 8 workspaces. Each pack includes an onboarding session, and the Essentiel offer already gives access to LinkedIn prospecting, document generation and an API. The website and interface are in French.
What changes for an SME
The pricing model differs. Limova charges a flat fee of €79.90 excl. VAT per month for 5 users on Essentiel, €139.90 excl. VAT on Pro, and telephony is extra, billed per minute. Forgeron3 charges per user: €12 excl. VAT on Apprentice, so €60 excl. VAT for 5 people, or nothing on the Free plan. Beyond 5 users, Limova points to a Business+ offer on request.
On use cases, Limova’s official pages do not describe video meeting notes, scheduled routines, MCP connection or building new agents. They talk about customising the eight existing agents. Forgeron3 includes meeting notes and routines from the Free plan, lets you build as many assistants as you need, and opens MCP connection on the Journeyman plan.
