ChatGPT with your own data. Without the Enterprise contract.

Keep ChatGPT. Add a governed EU knowledge base and inject it straight into the chat via browser extension and MCP — with retrieval you control and a source behind every answer.

GDPR Compliant EU Servers No Vendor Lock-in AI Act Ready
[01] The core problem

What slows teams down.

ChatGPT Enterprise is a strong product. Three things rub when you use it to work with your own knowledge.

01

You pay for a chat app, not a knowledge layer

ChatGPT Enterprise has no public price and is sold per seat through sales. You buy the chat environment; how your knowledge base is searched, weighted and ranked stays sealed under the hood.

02

Your team does not only use ChatGPT

Half your people live in Claude, Gemini or Copilot. A knowledge base that only exists inside ChatGPT leaves the rest of your organisation out.

03

"GDPR-ready" is not the same as EU processing

OpenAI offers EU storage at rest and, since January 2026, in-region inference too — but the latter is sales-gated and only with data residency enabled. Ask your vendor exactly where processing lands.

[02] Use cases

Three ways to make ChatGPT smarter with TalkWithData.

01

Your knowledge base inside ChatGPT

The browser extension detects your question in ChatGPT and injects the right organisational context. Through the MCP server, ChatGPT talks to your knowledge base directly — no copy-paste, no second tab.

02

The same knowledge in Claude, Gemini and Copilot

Build the knowledge base once. Deploy it into every AI tool your team already uses, plus a chatbot widget on your site and an API for your own product.

03

Governance without an Enterprise contract

Start free, scale to €49/month or custom. Scope isolation per organisation and department, source citations and staleness checks are built in.

[03] How TalkWithData solves it

What TalkWithData adds on top of ChatGPT.

01

Hybrid retrieval + reranking

Dense semantic search and BM25 fused with RRF, then cross-encoder reranking. It catches both the intent of a question and an exact article number — and puts the most relevant result on top. Evidence-tier scoring then weighs how recent and reliable a source is, and a knowledge graph boosts related documents, so the answer rests on the strongest support available.

02

Grounded answers with source and date

The model answers only from injected context, with a visible source. Stale knowledge triggers a freshness warning; with no source, the system says so instead of guessing. Every citation is clickable, so an employee can always check the answer — exactly what you need for policy and compliance questions.

03

EU processing, no training on your data

Retrieval and processing run on an EU backend. Your organisational data never leaves the environment and is never used to train models. A data processing agreement (GDPR art. 28) is ready to sign, and scope isolation per organisation and department keeps knowledge from leaking between teams or clients.

Topic TalkWithData ChatGPT Enterprise
EU processing (not just storage) Retrieval and processing in the EU. EU storage at rest for Enterprise/Edu; in-region EU inference available since Jan 2026, but sales-gated and only with data residency enabled.
Price and entry barrier Free tier, €49/month or custom. No seat minimum. ChatGPT Enterprise has no public price (quote via sales); ChatGPT Business is publicly priced per seat, minimum 2 users.
Works in the tool you already use Yes — browser extension and MCP inject your knowledge base into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot. ChatGPT is the tool; knowledge lives inside ChatGPT (Company Knowledge, connectors, GPTs).
Knowledge-base governance Hybrid retrieval (BM25 + dense + RRF), cross-encoder reranking, evidence scoring, knowledge-graph boost. Company Knowledge/connectors search your sources; OpenAI publishes no details on reranking or scoring.
Citations and staleness warning Every answer shows source and date; staleness warning on aged knowledge. Shows citations for Company Knowledge/search; no explicit staleness signalling documented.
Training on your data Never. Not trained on ChatGPT Business/Enterprise data by default (unless explicitly opted in).
Compliance documentation GDPR, EU servers, data processing agreement. DPA available; SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001/27017/27018/27701, CSA STAR.
Multi-tool coverage One knowledge base for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, widget and API. Focused on the ChatGPT ecosystem.

[04] Frequently asked

Answers, not bullet points.

ChatGPT Enterprise and Business support GDPR compliance: OpenAI signs a data processing agreement, does not train on your data by default, and offers EU storage at rest plus certifications like SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001. Mind the difference between storage and processing: in-region EU inference has been available since January 2026 for Enterprise/Edu, but it is sales-gated. The consumer and Plus tiers do not carry these guarantees.
Yes — through Company Knowledge, connectors and custom GPTs inside ChatGPT itself. TalkWithData takes a different route: you build a governed knowledge base with hybrid retrieval, reranking and source citations, then inject it into ChatGPT via extension and MCP, so you keep control over how retrieval and ranking work.
No — and that is the point. If you want the chat environment itself — the model, the admin console, the enterprise features — ChatGPT Enterprise is strong at that. TalkWithData is the knowledge layer underneath: it makes ChatGPT (and Claude, Gemini, Copilot) smarter with your knowledge instead of forcing a switch.
ChatGPT Enterprise has no public price; you negotiate per seat with sales. TalkWithData starts free, with a €49/month tier and custom for larger organisations. There is no seat minimum.
Yes. Retrieval and processing of your knowledge base run on an EU backend, and your data is never used to train models. That is a stronger baseline than storage at rest alone.
