Atarim vs Tability: at a glance
What is Atarim?
Atarim turns care plans into scheduled AI work and lets small fixes go live without approval.
Atarim 5.1.5 adds care plans: an agency builds a plan once with daily to yearly bands of workflows, such as weekly backups, monthly updates and reports and quarterly SEO sweeps, then attaches client sites and the work runs on schedule. The AI team can now work on sites in a GitHub repository, care reports come in agency, balanced and client versions, and small changes to live pages like text, images and SEO fields now go live directly, with the old version saved on the task. That relaxes 5.1.4, where every live-page edit came back as a draft for approval.
What is Tability?
Tability is wiring governance and write access around the AI agents it already shipped.
Tability is an OKR and strategy platform that spent 2026 turning a plan hierarchy into a queryable graph, then pointing agents at it. This batch is consolidation rather than new ground: workspace admins can now switch Agents off from MCP settings while preserving existing schedules, relationships and history; AI Mode gains write access to KPIs and KPI Views with explicit confirmation on destructive actions; scheduled prompts can read across plans, objectives, key results, initiatives, check-ins, members, agents and KPIs to produce formatted executive emails. Setup for delegated agents now hands you install instructions for Codex, ChatGPT or Claude Cowork.

◆ Current state
Atarim 5.1.5 adds care plans: an agency builds a plan once with daily to yearly bands of workflows, such as weekly backups, monthly updates and reports and quarterly SEO sweeps, then attaches client sites and the work runs on schedule. The AI team can now work on sites in a GitHub repository, care reports come in agency, balanced and client versions, and small changes to live pages like text, images and SEO fields now go live directly, with the old version saved on the task. That relaxes 5.1.4, where every live-page edit came back as a draft for approval.
◆ Where it's heading
Atarim is moving from a feedback tool with AI helpers to a service-delivery system that runs an agency's recurring work. Each release gives the AI more room to act on its own, while keeping records a person can check or undo.
◆ Prediction
Expect more ready-made plans and wider repository support, and further loosening of what the AI team may change without approval.
Tability
7.5PM
Tability is wiring governance and write access around the AI agents it already shipped.
◆ Current state
Tability is an OKR and strategy platform that spent 2026 turning a plan hierarchy into a queryable graph, then pointing agents at it. This batch is consolidation rather than new ground: workspace admins can now switch Agents off from MCP settings while preserving existing schedules, relationships and history; AI Mode gains write access to KPIs and KPI Views with explicit confirmation on destructive actions; scheduled prompts can read across plans, objectives, key results, initiatives, check-ins, members, agents and KPIs to produce formatted executive emails. Setup for delegated agents now hands you install instructions for Codex, ChatGPT or Claude Cowork.
◆ Where it's heading
The agent track and the graph track have merged, and the work has shifted to the unglamorous half: permissions, confirmations, admin kill switches, and telling a human which agent needs attention and why. AI Mode is steadily converting modules from readable to writable - it took general workspace actions in May, the KPI module shipped in July, and it now writes KPIs too - so the pattern is that each new object type gets inspected first and edited a release or two later. Notifications now distinguish updates authored by an agent from those authored by a person, which is the kind of detail that only matters once agents are actually writing to the workspace.
◆ Prediction
Expect initiatives and check-ins to be the next objects AI Mode can write rather than only read, following the same inspect-then-edit pattern the KPI module just completed. The admin enable/disable switch also suggests per-role or per-team agent permissions rather than a single workspace-wide toggle.
