Product comparison
answerLoops vs Khoros Aurora AI
Khoros Aurora AI layers grounded answers, moderation, and workflow automation onto the Khoros enterprise community platform. Compare that to an AI layer that connects to the chat platforms your community already uses.
Aurora AI is Khoros's AI layer for its enterprise community platform — grounded, cited answers alongside AI moderation and workflow automation, built for forums, knowledge base, ideas, events, and groups.
| Consideration | answerLoops | Khoros Aurora AI |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Discord, Slack, Discourse, Circle, GitHub, Telegram, email, Google Chat, and a website widget — connects to the platforms your community already uses. | Aurora AI runs inside the Khoros community platform itself (forums, knowledge base, ideas, events, groups) — it is part of that platform, not a layer you add to an existing Discord or Slack community. |
| Answer workflow | An answer agent drafts from your workspace knowledge, a separate review agent checks it against the retrieved sources, and automatic replies go out when enabled and above the configured confidence threshold. | Aurora AI’s Answer Assist provides grounded, cited answers when human experts have not already responded, alongside AI Moderation and Orchestrator-driven workflow automation. |
| Deployment and pricing | Published per-plan pricing on managed plans, or an AGPL-3.0 self-hosted deployment you operate yourself. | Enterprise sales-quote pricing on the Khoros platform; no public self-hosted option. |
