Answers summarize Sema4.ai’s product pages.* **How is Sema4 different from AI cowork tools?** Cowork tools are designed as general-purpose AI assistants. Sema4 helps organizations build, run, and manage agents that solve complex, team-based business processes. Business users can use cowork and copilot tools to build Sema4 agents within the tools they already use. **Who builds the agents with Sema4?** Business users can define agents in plain English with AI assistance, without code, in [Agent Studio](https://sema4.ai/products/studio/) or in cowork tools such as Claude Cowork and Microsoft Copilot. **How are agents run and managed?** Teams work with agents in [Work Room](https://sema4.ai/products/work-room/), and administrators manage the agent lifecycle, environments, SSO, and observability in [Control Room](https://sema4.ai/products/control-room/). **How does Sema4 solve team-based work?** Teams share and manage workspaces, agents, skills, memories, data, and files with governance, so work isn’t tied to one person. See the [Sema4.ai v3.0 blog post](https://sema4.ai/blog/sema4ai-v3-team-based-work-lower-token-spend/). **How does Sema4 help keep token costs down?** Verified queries and verified logic reuse approved approaches, and DataFrames process large datasets without sending every row to a model. The v3.0 post reports 80% fewer LLM tokens for verified queries and 50% fewer for verified logic. ## Automate complex business work with agents With Sema4.ai, you overcome your biggest business workflow challenges while keeping the security, accuracy, and control your enterprise demands.
