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.

Are Gemini models available in Eridia?

Yes, Eridia gives access to Google's Gemini models alongside GPT, Claude, Mistral and DeepSeek. For the most sensitive data, open-source models run directly on your hardware, with no external calls at all.

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.

The sovereign Gemini alternative for your business

Gemini is deeply integrated into Google Workspace — that's its strength, and that's the problem: your company data feeds the AI of a US company subject to the Cloud Act. Eridia gives you Gemini models and all the others, deployed on your infrastructure, connected to your tools, Google included.

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	None on-premise	Yes	Yes
Self-hosting / air-gapped	Turnkey, in 1 day	Not possible	Not possible
Available AI models	All: Gemini, GPT, Claude, Mistral, DeepSeek…	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.
