Ask for the Moon: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Ask for the Moon is a generative-AI platform for industrial know-how, from a French company in Paris (also known as Wingzy). Subject-matter experts build assistants from their own reference documents; employees get sourced answers, and when the AI cannot answer it says so and connects them with the relevant colleagues, whose validated answers then enrich the assistant. The use cases listed include technical support and maintenance, compliance with standards, and sales support.

The privacy policy names Ask for the moon - Wingzy SAS, Paris, as the operator; no parent company is named. By default, data is stored on Microsoft Azure servers in Paris. Microsoft is a US-owned provider, so the US CLOUD Act can in principle apply even to data in a French region. Private-cloud or on-premise deployments can be considered on request. The sources do not name the language-model provider: ask which one processes your documents and where.
