European generative AI chatbots

AI assistants from European model providers

Replaces: ChatGPT

A generative AI chatbot answers written prompts using a large language model. People use them to draft and edit text, summarise documents, translate, explain unfamiliar topics, brainstorm, and write or debug code. Some also generate images or work with files you upload. The quality of the answer depends on the model behind the interface and on how much context you can give it.

People paste a lot into a chat window: draft contracts, customer emails, internal numbers. Mistral Vibe and Lumo come from European companies, so prompts are processed by organisations answering to EU law rather than to US disclosure powers. If you want a European AI chatbot for work, check the retention period for conversations and whether your input can be used for training.
