FAQs

What is a Private GPT?

A Private GPT is an enterprise-grade AI system that works like ChatGPT — but fully inside your company’s secure environment.  It understands your internal documents, policies, emails, manuals, and workflows, and gives accurate, confidential answers without sending any data to the public internet.

Think of it as:

ChatGPT + Your Company’s Data + Full Security + Full Control

✔ Runs on your private cloud or on-prem
✔ No data leaves your environment
✔ Custom AI assistants for any department
✔ Secure search across all internal documents
✔ Built-in compliance, audit logs, RBAC access control

It is the AI version of having your own secure, internal “ChatGPT” for employees.

Use Case:
Employees ask policy, HR, finance, or technical questions and get instant answers — without searching documents.

Different vendors use different names, but they all refer to similar private AI systems.
