Craft AI Assistant: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Craft AI Assistant is a business AI assistant from the French company Craft AI. Staff get one chat interface for summarising documents, drafting text and asking questions about company documentation. Administrators build their own assistants and agents, share them across the organisation and connect them to business tools. The platform works with closed and open language models, offers permission management and shows usage and cost. It is delivered as a service.

Craft AI is based in Paris and names no owner outside France. According to its privacy policy, data is held with European hosting providers in France, Ireland and the Netherlands. The vendor states that customers can choose their own host, including a French cloud holding HDS or SecNumCloud qualification. Pay attention to the choice of language model: calling a model from a non-European provider sends prompts to that party, so ask for the terms per model. Craft AI also offers consulting and custom projects, but the product itself is not tied to one model supplier.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Craft AI Assistant

Craft AI Assistant is headquartered in France and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Craft AI Assistant scores best on data residency.

Craft AI Assistant is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Craft AI Assistant together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
