Checked November 3, 2026, against myturnstone.ai, Turnstone's Y Combinator profile and the Dooza Crew page. Both products are new and change fast; re-check before you choose.
For a small business, Dooza Crew is the better pick. Its AI employees work on their own computers in the cloud, so they keep going when your laptop is shut; you reach them on web or phone; your staff sit in the same chat; and phone calls are included. Turnstone is a good free Mac app for one person who already pays for ChatGPT, Claude or Grok, but today it runs only while your Mac is on, and its 24/7 cloud is still coming soon.

Turnstone describes itself on its Y Combinator profile as "The best model-agnostic Grokbot alternative". You start with a Chief of Staff agent; tell it what you are working on and it sets up an agent for each part of the job. Three things stand out:
If you are a founder or freelancer on a Mac who already pays for two AI plans, that is a strong deal: no new AI bill, and one place for all of it.
Dooza Crew is built for the daily work of a small business. You type the job in plain words. Your master agent creates the AI employees the job needs and gives each one its own computer and a real browser, so the work keeps going when your laptop is shut.
Then you add your people. Staff and AI employees work in one group chat on web or phone: anyone can hand out a job and see the work. You watch every step live in chat. Before it clicks Send or Pay, it asks you: Approve, Edit or Reject.
