Open Marketplace, Not a Walled Garden

Does your AI vendor connect to your stack, or want to become it?

Here's a question worth asking any AI vendor courting your agency: does your platform connect with the rest of our stack, or does it want to become our stack?

Listen closely to the answer. Most vendors will say some version of "connect with us." Bring your data over. Live in our workspace. Run everything through our interface. It's a one-way door dressed up as a platform.

ennabl AI took the opposite approach

  • Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace: mail, calendar and files, built in natively rather than as a bolt-on integration that breaks every quarter.
  • DocuSign: drafts real envelopes from documents ennabl AI generates, ready for your review before anything goes out.
  • Your AMS: a connection to the system your agency already runs on, working with it, not against it.
  • Claude and Cursor: connect them to ennabl AI and run Loss Summary, Policy Checking or any other workflow from inside those tools. The connection runs both ways.

As best we can tell, no other platform in this market is doing that last one.

Tool or walled garden?

That's the line between the two. Tools plug into how you already work. Walled gardens ask you to move in. Ask your vendor which one they're building. The answer will tell you a lot.
