SicherChat (i.Gr.)

SicherChat provides German SMEs with a locally operated, secure, and cost-efficient AI platform. We deliver a local ChatGPT alternative and develop customized AI systems (e.g., for employee assistance, customer service, and technical support).

Our unique selling proposition is 100% data sovereignty, as the software and necessary hardware are operated directly within the customer's IT environment. This is made possible by our proprietary RAGnRoll Framework for the rapid and quality-assured development of AI solutions.

The primary target audience is manufacturing and technology-oriented Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs/Mittelstand) in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). These companies rely on trade secrets, construction data, and process knowledge, making data sovereignty a critical competitive advantage. Secondarily, we address sectors with similarly high compliance requirements, such as law firms and financial service providers.

The main challenge lies in overcoming the market’s fundamental lack of trust and concerns regarding quality and cost-efficiency in AI adoption. According to an MIT report, 95% of chatbot projects fail due to these issues. Additionally, we must continuously demonstrate a superior, secure alternative to large US providers to eliminate the existential data sovereignty risk posed by the US CLOUD Act for our clients.
