How to quickly determine if I should use Simen?

Use Simen when your outputs are document-driven and highly domain-specific, other AI tools fall short, and you run these workflows multiple times daily.

When these tasks pop up, Simen makes life easy—real code inside, plain words outside:
  1. Office work – fix sheets, tag docs, join huge Excel files, batch-style Word files, and scrub messy data. Python runs inside, you just ask.
  2. Econometrics tasks – speak to clean data, run stats, build regressions, and get neat tables and charts. Built-in Stata does the heavy math—no coding needed.
  3. Industry agents – pick from ready agents for finance, health, law, and more. They speak your lingo and respect your rules; generic AI helpers don’t.

Should I pick Simen or other tools?

​
Office Suite or Simen?

Pick Simen - AI can batch-process Word, Excel and PPT files, automatically clean, summarise and convert formats to accelerate your workflow.

Choose Microsoft Office - Still the go-to suite for precise editing, layout and collaboration on complex documents.

Tip: Simen and Office complement each other—we don’t recommend uninstalling Office. Use Office for deep layout or intricate revisions; delegate repetitive, large-scale processing to Simen and let domain-aware AI save you time.

​
DeepSeek or Simen?

Pick Simen - When you need AI to operate local files, understand industry context, and complete real workflows, Simen is the better choice.

Choose DeepSeek - Known for its deep reasoning, it excels at conversation and logic, but focuses mainly on language-level interactions.

Tip: DeepSeek is already one of Simen’s built-in models. Use Simen to invoke DeepSeek’s powerful reasoning while also benefitting from superior file handling and domain-specific capabilities.

​
Cursor or Simen?

Choose Simen if you’re a typical office professional who isn’t interested in coding but needs to handle many document-driven tasks efficiently.

Choose Cursor if you’re a coding enthusiast who enjoys working directly with code and development environments.

​
Manus or Simen?

Choose Simen if only your local environment may access and process these critical assets, delivering capabilities the cloud cannot, because privacy is paramount.

Choose Manus if you prefer cloud-first storage, and a fully browser-based environment that keeps your work accessible from cloud browser.
