What will you find in these case studies?

Every page follows the same structure: who the company is and what problem it had, how it worked before, what needs to be set up in Markonex, the concrete steps with conversation examples, what changed and what limits the assistant has. The scenarios cover buyers and sellers in construction, installations, auto parts, manufacturing and transport.

Are these real customers?

No. They are illustrative scenarios built on the features available in Markonex today, to show how they are used in real situations in Romanian companies. The companies, people and figures are examples, not customer results; any estimate is marked as illustrative.

How do you choose between MCP and AI agents?

Choose MCP when you want to work yourself, in a conversation with ChatGPT or Claude: you ask, request, check and confirm on the spot. Choose an AI agent when the same task repeats every day or week and you want to find it done, with actions prepared for approval.
