Sintra Twelve ready-made AI assistants for small businesses.
What Forgeron3 changes.
Two approaches, one need.
Sintra offers twelve ready-made “AI employees”, from Buddy for strategy to Cassie for customer support, via Dexter for data and Vizzy for meetings. They share a common base, Brain AI, and are run from the web or from iOS and Android apps, with an interface available in French.
Forgeron3 also has business assistants in its catalogue, but it builds them on your email, calendar, meetings and documents, with a per-user price in euros and hosting in France. The comparison is mainly about sharing assistants, connecting them to your software and transparency on data.

Its strengths.
Sintra delivers twelve assistants that are already specialised, each with its own role and tone, and a marketplace of assistants built by the community. Brain AI gathers company information, brand guidelines and a small CRM, which all assistants can consult. Tasks can be scheduled as often as every ten minutes, more than 1,000 integrations are available, and one subscription covers unlimited team members. iOS and Android apps round off the service.
What changes for an SME
Sintra sells a single subscription, Sintra X, in dollars excl. tax and paid upfront: $48.50 for one month, $23.60 per month over three months, $15.60 per month over twelve months, with 250 monthly credits for the whole workspace. Forgeron3 charges €12 excl. VAT per user per month on Apprentice, with 10 million tokens each, and offers a Free plan with no time limit, where Sintra offers a three-day trial.
Sintra’s help centre says there is no public API, and describes neither MCP connection, nor putting an assistant on a site, nor where data is hosted. Forgeron3 lets you embed an assistant via iframe or link from Apprentice, connect it via MCP on Journeyman, and hosts its platform in France, in Strasbourg and Gravelines.
