H Company: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

H Company is a Paris-based AI lab that builds agents able to operate software the way a person does. According to the company, its Agents API runs agents in a cloud-hosted browser or on a desktop without needing application APIs, and a separate Models API offers its Holo computer-use models through an OpenAI-compatible interface with zero data retention.

H Company has its registered office in Paris, France, and no foreign parent is stated. Its privacy policy does not say where all data is hosted and mentions U.S.-based infrastructure, while the sub-processor list is kept on a separate trust site; prompts and traces are retained for a maximum of 90 days. The platform is delivered as a hosted service, although the company has also published some models as downloadable weights. A European organisation should request the sub-processor list and hosting regions before sending business data to the agents.

Why digital sovereignty matters with H Company

H Company is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

H Company hosts data in EU, US. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

H Company 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 H Company together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
