Common questions

Why switch from Notion AI?

Notion AI is controlled from a country outside the EU. For non-sensitive use this is rarely a problem, but for customer data, personal data or the public sector a Swedish or European vendor means simpler GDPR work and no CLOUD Act exposure through ownership.
