We use Google Workspace. Can Eridia connect to it?

Yes. Eridia connects natively to Google Drive, Gmail and Calendar: you keep Workspace for office work and email, and Eridia becomes your AI layer — with indexing done inside your perimeter rather than in Google's cloud.

Gemini is included in our Workspace plan. Why pay for another tool?

Because the issue isn't price, it's what you hand over to Google: every prompt and document analyzed by Gemini transits through a US company subject to the Cloud Act. Eridia processes that data inside your infrastructure, with access to every other model on the market on top.

Which AI models are available in Eridia?

Eridia offers models run in the EU and can run open-source models on your infrastructure. The catalogue depends on the chosen deployment.

Google offers EU data residency. Isn't that enough?

No: the datacenter's location doesn't change the operator's nationality. Google remains a US company subject to the Cloud Act, which can compel access to data wherever it is hosted. Only deployment on your own infrastructure structurally eliminates that risk.

What if we use both Google and Microsoft?

That's exactly the ideal use case: Eridia connects to both ecosystems (plus Notion, Slack and your business tools), where Gemini and Copilot each stay locked inside their own. One AI interface for the whole company.

Why companies look for a Gemini alternative

Your company data in Google's cloud

Gmail, Drive, Docs, Meet: Gemini draws on your entire Google workspace. Convenient, but every analyzed document, email and meeting transits through the servers of a US company subject to the Cloud Act.

Lock-in to the Google ecosystem

Gemini shines inside Workspace. Your non-Google tools — Notion, Slack, SharePoint, your business applications — remain poorly covered, and leaving Google gets more costly every day.

A single model vendor

With Gemini, you inherit Google's choice. You cannot use Claude for contract analysis, GPT for drafting, or a local open-source model for the most sensitive data.

Eridia vs Google Gemini vs Microsoft Copilot

The criteria that matter for a European company.

	Eridia	Gemini (Workspace)	Microsoft Copilot
Where your data lives	Your servers or EU private cloud	Google cloud (US company)	Microsoft cloud (US company)
Cloud Act exposure	Isolated setup available	Yes	Yes
Self-hosting / air-gapped	Turnkey, in 1 day	Not possible	Not possible
Available AI models	Models run in the EU or locally	Google only	OpenAI via Microsoft
Works outside its ecosystem	Yes: Google, Microsoft, Notion, Slack, business tools…	Built for Google Workspace	Built for Microsoft 365
Desktop app (Cowork and Code modes)	Yes, data processed inside your perimeter	Web and mobile (US cloud)	Embedded in Office (US cloud)
Secure agents and automations	Yes, with human validation on outbound actions	Gems / Google cloud agents	Copilot Studio (Microsoft cloud)
Meeting transcription	Included — Meet, Teams, Zoom or in person	Via Meet only	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.

What you gain by switching to Eridia

Multiple models run in the EU or on your infrastructure, in one interface
Your Google tools stay connected: Drive, Gmail, Calendar — but data is indexed inside your perimeter
A desktop app with Cowork mode (assisted work on your files) and Code mode
Autonomous agents and automations with human validation and audit logs
Real self-hosting: your servers, your private cloud or a French cloud
Meeting transcription included, whatever your video tool
