Adopt AI vs Orby AI (2026)
Adopt AI and Orby both automate work by learning how it is already done, and the ownership split now frames the choice: Adopt AI is an independent no code builder whose Application Use engine turns existing applications and manual processes into agents that operate software the way a person does, while Orby, acquired by Uniphore in 2026, built a Large Action Model that observes work and generates automation code, now sold through Uniphore's enterprise AI platform. Both are contact sales. Choose Adopt for an independent focused vendor, Orby if Uniphore's broader platform is attractive rather than concerning.

Choose Adopt AI if
- An independent vendor focused entirely on this problem is your preference.
- Turning your existing app workflows into agents without APIs is the exact job.
- You want direct vendor attention rather than a platform module.
Choose Orby AI if
- The Large Action Model approach (observe, then generate automation code) fits your thesis.
- Uniphore's enterprise AI platform breadth is a plus for your roadmap.
- Enterprise procurement prefers a larger consolidated vendor.
Orby AI was acquired by Uniphore in 2026 and is now sold as part of Uniphore's enterprise AI platform. Buyers should confirm product roadmap and support terms under the new ownership.
