Wikit launches its independent and secure AI chat service, designed for businesses

In response to growing demand from organizations for high-performance, secure AI tools, Wikit is breaking new ground with its secure AI chat solution designed for businesses. This new AI chat acts as a true, independent co-pilot, designed to deliver the power of artificial intelligence without compromising data security.

But why has this solution become essential today? Because companies are facing an invisible but very real risk: shadow AI.

Shadow IA: A Secure Enterprise Chat Solution

The meteoric rise of ChatGPT and consumer-facing generative AI tools has transformed professional practices. But this technological revolution has also given rise to a concerning phenomenon: shadow AI.

Behind this term lies an increasingly common reality: in the absence of clear guidelines, employees are using external AI tools—such as free AI chatbots or personal AI assistants—often without authorization, to save time or automate certain tasks, but completely outside of any established framework.

The Many Risks of Shadow AI in the Workplace

The use of tools that are not properly managed exposes the organization to critical risks:

• Leakage of sensitive data: internal documents or strategic data analysis files are copied to consumer-grade tools whose servers are hosted overseas;
• Loss of sovereignty: a complete lack of control over the information transmitted and potentially reused to train public models;
• Regulatory non-compliance: risk of violating the GDPR or client confidentiality agreements;
• Lack of governance: no visibility into who is using AI, how it is being used, and what impact it has on internal processes.

These issues, which are often unintentional, can jeopardize an organization’ssecurity, reputation, and compliance. Wikit’s enterprise AI chatbot was designed to address this need for control.

A trusted and confidential business partner

In light of this, Wikit offers a fully autonomous, controlled, and securealternative: a true enterprise AI chatbot integrated into the Wikit Semantics platform.

With this professional AI assistant, Wikit puts businesses back in control of their use of artificial intelligence, offering a robust security framework and a user experience as seamless as that of consumer-facing assistants (ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.).

This AI chatbot, designed for businesses, is a conversational interface that combines ease of use, powerful data analysis, and strict adherence to privacy standards, enabling organizations toadopt AI in a responsible and autonomous manner.

A driver of productivity and trust

Wikit’s Enterprise AI Chat is much more than just a standard AI chatbot: it’s a versatile AI assistant designed to streamline daily tasks while ensuring complete control over data. Thanks to its sovereign architecture and seamless integration into internal digital environments, it becomes a true business co-pilot. It can search the web, as well as analyze, summarize, or even generate content from your own documents—all with complete security.

Practical use cases to simplify everyday life

This conversational interface was designed to meet the practical needs of employees in their day-to-day work.

Thanks to its contextual intelligence and ability to securely leverage internal data, this chatbot helps save time, improve the quality of deliverables, and boost productivity across a wide range of business use cases:

• Summarize your meetings and automatically generate structured meeting minutes;
• Summarize and translate internal documents into multiple languages;
• Compare contracts or reports using detailed data analysis to identify key differences;
• Extract key information from large files (PDF, Word, Excel, etc.);
• Generate ideas and content for your marketing and HR projects, or to improve customer service scripts;
• Conduct web searches: either broad searches or searches limited to authorized sources, to ensure the reliability and security of the information.

Features designed for businesses

Because every organization has its own specific requirements in terms of security, governance, and performance, Wikit’s chat platform includes advanced features designed for demanding professional environments.

It thus provides a seamless user experience while adhering to the compliance and privacy frameworks specific to each industry:

• Multi-model support: Choose from or switch between multiple AI models (OpenAI, Mistral, Meta, in-house model) based on your needs. This allows you to benefit from every technological update without being locked into a specific technology;
• Multi-format analysis: efficient processing of major office file formats (text, PDF, spreadsheets) for instant data analysis;
• Integrated web search: access to online information in a secure environment that complies with your internal policies;
• History and traceability: request tracking, version control for responses, and auditability of usage for transparent governance.

An AI-powered corporate chatbot that combines security and data sovereignty

While most AI assistants promise privacy, Wikit guarantees it. It’s the definitive solution to the risks of Shadow AI.

Every feature of Wikit’s secure AI chat solution is built on a sovereign, GDPR-compliant architecture, ensuring complete control over the data lifecycle. This has become a critical issue in the era of the cloud and external AI for any IT department committed to protecting its information assets.

How does Wikit's AI Chat differ from ChatGPT and Copilot?

Here’s how Wikit’s AI chat solution stacks up against industry standards (ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot).

1. Data that is neither shared nor used to train models

That is the key difference. The conversations, documents, and data analyses processed remain strictly internal to your organization. They are never reused for model training, nor are they accessible to external vendors.

Conversely, ChatGPT (in its free and standard paid versions) can use user data to improve its models, unless the company subscribes to a specific, high-cost plan (Team or Enterprise).

Although Microsoft Copilot is integrated into 365, it relies on the Microsoft cloud. Certain features route data through Azure servers in the U.S., which raises complex issues regarding jurisdiction and control for European entities.

2. Sovereign and controlled hosting

Wikit's servers are hosted and operated exclusively in Europe, ensuring that your data never leaves European territory.

Unlike mainstream AI chatbots such as ChatGPT (servers located in the United States) or Microsoft Copilot (hosted on Azure, with regional variations), Wikit Chat offers complete control. You benefit from GDPR compliance, with security and privacy guaranteed from the design stage.

3. Centralized and transparent governance

To effectively combat Shadow AI, visibility is key. Administrators maintain a clear understanding of how artificial intelligence is being used within the organization:

• Tracking of requests and usage statistics;
• Granular access management by role and by team;
• Monitoring of the models used and the data processed.

The result: your teams can use AI with confidence, within a compliant, secure, and controlled environment, without compromising on performance.
