Our take

Zodiem is the better choice if your goal is turning website visitors into sales conversations, because it talks to them live and hands your team a lead summary.

Arcade is an AI video platform for marketing teams. It turns an idea or captured product context into launch videos, tutorials and social clips, and also offers interactive demos. It is not a live conversation. Zodiem is a live voice agent that answers buyers' questions on your website. They solve different problems, and many teams could use both.

What is Zodiem

Zodiem is a live AI demo agent for B2B software. A visitor clicks a button on your website, enters a name and work email, and talks to an AI agent, clearly labelled as AI, that opens your real product in a browser and answers questions by voice while the visitor watches. Visitors can interrupt and change the subject. Each session produces a transcript, summary, interest level and suggested next step, sent to Slack or any webhook. Plans are Starter $249, Growth $750 and Scale $2,083 per month, each with a fixed number of engaged demos, plus custom Enterprise. Zodiem is early stage. It is English only today and has no video avatar, no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification.
