Capability	Trelium	ChatGPT
What each one does
Builder paradigm	Plain English sentence becomes a deployed agent on your real tools.	Conversation in chat.openai.com, or model calls via the API.
Acts on real systems	Reads, writes, and updates across 2,600+ tools natively.	Tool-use available, but you build and host the integrations.
Runs without you	Triggers on events: deals close, emails arrive, schedules fire.	Runs only when you start a session or fire an API call.
Integrations
Direct app integrations	2,600+ business SaaS tools out of the box, custom on enterprise.	Custom GPT actions or API tool-use, you build and maintain connectors.
Cross-app workflows	One agent fans out across CRM, billing, ticketing, comms in a single run.	Possible via the API, you write the orchestration code.
Memory of your stack	Knows your apps, accounts, and policies; persists across runs.	Context per chat or per API call; persistence is your problem to solve.
Oversight & ops
Command Center	Every agent, every action, one screen. Live status + audit trail.	No native ops surface; you build dashboards on top of API logs.
Approval & autonomy modes	Per-agent: Autopilot · Approval required · Escalate to admin · custom.	You implement approvals in your application code.
Audit trail	Every action, every approval, searchable forever.	API logs at the request level; downstream actions are your records to keep.
Team-wide rollout	Agents are shared assets the whole team operates.	Each ChatGPT user runs their own conversations; API access is dev-team-shaped.
Trust & enterprise
SOC 2	In progress.	Type II on the API and Enterprise plans.
SSO · SAML · SCIM	Available from Growth tier up.	Available on ChatGPT Enterprise.
Per-account data isolation	Single-tenant data plane, per-account encryption keys.	Multi-tenant; zero-data-retention available on the API for eligible customers.
Never trains on your data	Contractual. Audit logs prove it.	OpenAI does not train on customer data via the API; review the DPA for current terms.
