URL: https://aiheroes.io/en/european-chatgpt-alternative
Description: A European AI assistant for your team, in a European cloud or on your own servers, tested on your team's work. With Mistral Vibe, Proton Lumo or the open EuroLLM as examples. Start sprint from €8,000.

# Like ChatGPT, but in Europe

AI Heroes sets up a European AI assistant for your team, in a European cloud or on your own servers, and makes sure the switch does not feel like a step back. The first step is a six-day start sprint, from €8,000.

Plan a start sprint

How to start

## What we set up

- An assistant for your whole team · With European or open models, from Mistral or EuroLLM for example.
- Sign in with your existing accounts · No new passwords; the same accounts as today.
- Connected to your own documents · Answers from your own knowledge, with the source.
- Rules for what is and is not allowed · Settings per group, in line with your AI policy.
- Training for your team · So the switch does not feel like a step back.

## How to start: the start sprint

We put the European assistant alongside what your team uses today and test it on their real tasks.

- 6 days: from question to result
- €8,000: fixed price, for every way in
- 2 weeks: from the first call to the start

After six days you have

A working European assistant, tested on your team's work, a comparison of quality, cost and risk, and a switching plan.

Case · Our own AI assistant

## Our own AI assistant, hosted in Europe

The assistant on this site answers questions from our own pages. It runs on European infrastructure, makes clear that it is AI and hands you to a person when it does not know.

## Three options

|  | When it fits | Examples |
| --- | --- | --- |
| A European assistant as a service | A quick start, little to manage yourself | Vibe from Mistral |
| An open model in the European cloud | More control, connected to your own systems | Models from Mistral or EuroLLM with a European hosting provider |
| On your own servers | When data may not leave the building | Open models on your own hardware |

## Included in every build

- Business case first · Before we build, you know what it costs, what it returns and when it pays for itself.
- Compliance by design · AI Act classification, logging, human oversight and European hosting are part of the design.
- Your people can work with it · We train the team that will use the system on the system itself. That also covers Article 4 of the AI Act.
- Not tied to one AI vendor · You can switch AI models without rebuilding. Everything comes with documentation.

What matters most here: you are not tied to one AI vendor. That is the core of this switch.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is a European model as good as ChatGPT?

For most work tasks, good enough. We show it on your team's own tasks, and say so if it falls short. All options side by side are in [European alternatives to ChatGPT](https://aiheroes.io/en/insights/european-chatgpt-alternatives).

### Can we replace Copilot in Microsoft 365?

Largely, yes: a European assistant can search your own documents and write text. The comparison is honest about what Copilot does inside the Office applications themselves.

### What does it cost per user?

That depends on the option and the number of users. The costs are in the business case of the start sprint.

### Is this GDPR-compliant?

It helps: your data stays in Europe or with you. You can read what else the GDPR asks in [AI and the GDPR](https://aiheroes.io/en/insights/ai-and-gdpr).

### What do we do about staff already using ChatGPT on their own?

Give them a good alternative, a clear [AI policy](https://aiheroes.io/en/insights/ai-policy) and [training](https://aiheroes.io/en/incompany-ai-training). A ban without an alternative rarely works.
