Why sovereign AI for your professional conversations?

When you use an AI transcription or note-taking tool, you hand it the entire content of your professional conversations. Company strategy, commercial negotiations, financial data, HR matters: all of it passes through your supplier's servers.

The problem with American solutions

The vast majority of tools on the market, Otter, Fireflies, Grain, tl;dv, are hosted in the United States. That means your data falls under the Cloud Act, a US federal law allowing American authorities to access data held by American companies, even when the servers sit in Europe.

For a law firm, a bank, an industrial group or a public administration, that is an unacceptable risk.

What "sovereign" actually means

At Gilbert, "sovereign" is not a marketing line. It is an architecture:

• Fully French infrastructure, hosted at OVHcloud, SecNumCloud certified
• Proprietary AI models, so no data passes through OpenAI, Google, AWS or any other American provider
• No transfer outside the EU: not one byte crosses the Atlantic
• GDPR compliance by design, with end-to-end encryption, the right to erasure and deletion on request

Your conversations are never used to train models

This is a critical point many tools gloss over. When you use a service built on GPT, Claude or Gemini, your data may be used to improve those models. At Gilbert that is contractually excluded. Your conversations stay yours. Full stop.

A competitive matter, not only a compliance one

Sovereignty is not purely a legal question. It is a competitive advantage:

• You can use Gilbert for your most sensitive strategy meetings
• Your clients and partners know their data is protected
• You are ahead of the European regulations coming down the line, from the AI Act to NIS2

In closing

Handing the content of your professional conversations to an American supplier means taking a risk you would never take with your confidential documents. Your conversations deserve the same level of protection as your contracts.

That is exactly what Gilbert promises: an AI that understands your work, hosted where it should be, in France.
