Comparison
The sovereign ChatGPT alternative for your business
ChatGPT is a great product. Eridia offers a different approach for businesses: models run in the EU, an option to deploy on your infrastructure, and integrations with your tools.
Why companies look for an alternative
The Cloud Act applies, even with EU hosting
OpenAI and Microsoft are US companies: the Cloud Act lets US authorities compel access to the data they process, wherever it is hosted. For regulated industries, that is a blocker.
Your prompts contain your trade secrets
Contracts, strategy, source code, client data: every prompt sent to a cloud AI exposes sensitive information to a third party, with limited traceability on the company side.
One vendor, stacking costs
ChatGPT Enterprise only gives access to OpenAI models. To also get Claude, Gemini or Mistral, you must multiply subscriptions: scattered budget, scattered data.
Eridia vs ChatGPT Enterprise vs Microsoft Copilot
The criteria that matter for a European company.
| Eridia | ChatGPT Enterprise | Microsoft Copilot | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where your data lives | Your servers or EU private cloud | OpenAI cloud (US company) | Microsoft cloud (US company) |
| Cloud Act exposure | Isolated setup available | Yes | Yes |
| On-premise / air-gapped deployment | Turnkey, in 1 day | Not possible | Not possible |
| Available AI models | Models run in the EU or locally | OpenAI only | OpenAI via Microsoft |
| Local open-source models | Yes, on your hardware | No | No |
| Connection to your tools (Drive, Notion, Slack…) | Native, local indexing | Partial | Microsoft ecosystem |
| Meeting transcription | Included, unlimited from the Pro plan | Not included | Via Teams only |
Comparison made in good faith at publication date; vendor offers evolve. The structural point does not: a US company remains subject to the Cloud Act, wherever the data is hosted.
What Eridia actually does for your teams
Much more than chat: a complete workspace with multiple AI models run in the EU or locally.
Cowork mode: desktop app
AI works alongside you right on your machine: writing, document analysis, spreadsheets, presentations, on your real files, not in an isolated tab.
Code mode
Code generation and execution in a secure sandbox: scripts, data analysis, prototypes, with nothing extra to install.
AI agents and automations
Build agents that run your recurring processes autonomously and securely, with human validation at critical steps.
Meeting transcription
Your meetings transcribed, summarized and ready for AI. On-premise, the audio never leaves your infrastructure.
Your documents, connected
Drive, Notion, Slack, SharePoint... your data is indexed and searchable with role-based access control. Optional integrations are covered in our privacy policy.
Turnkey self-hosting
The same platform, deployed on your servers or managed in the EU. Your content remains hosted in the EU.
