An Overview of Swiss AI Chats.

A neutral comparison of twenty offerings: in-house models, aggregators, and Swiss hosting providers for open models.

Neutral and focused on the public interest. swissAI does not recommend any products and does not maintain a ranking. An entry in the swissAI Landscape does not constitute an evaluation or a recommendation. As of October 12, 2026.

"Swiss AI" can mean three things.

It's like the Swiss cross on the packaging: recipe, factory, or just the company headquarters. None of the products in the comparison meet all three criteria.

01

The Company

Its headquarters, ownership, and legal status are in Switzerland. That doesn't tell you where your data ends up.

02

Hosting

Your chats are hosted on Swiss servers. That doesn't tell us anything about the model's origin.

03

The Model

Developed and trained in Switzerland. Rarely met; Apertus is the first open Swiss base.

Find the offer that's right for you.

The filter applies to both the cards and the table: Each card can be expanded to show information on the company's founding, certifications, references, and support, while the table presents the facts at a glance.

Some information may now be out of date.

Eight Questions for Every Provider.

The answers can be found in the providers' public documents.

01

Where is the model running, and where are the chats?

Data storage in Switzerland and processing in the United States are not mutually exclusive.

02

Where does the model come from?

If the provider does not specify this, that in itself constitutes information.

03

Does the contract specify that the player is barred from training?

The contract is what matters, not the homepage.

04

How long are chats stored?

This is the key point for those bound by professional confidentiality.

05

Who are the subcontractors?

And where does a web search lead? That's where promises are most often broken.

06

The Swiss Data Protection Act or Just the GDPR?

A Swiss headquarters does not guarantee that.

07

What does the free license say?

Time limits tend to be hidden there.

08

What about liability and availability?

Read the disclaimers before using the product in a production environment.

What the comparison reveals about the ecosystem.

Three observations that go beyond the products.

The server location says nothing about the content

The Euria case shows that a chatbot hosted on Swiss servers can adopt the worldview of its base model.

Open-top models usually come from China

Today, the systems in use are primarily Qwen, GLM, Kimi, or DeepSeek. With Lumo 2.0, Proton switched from European to Chinese models.

Apertus is being incorporated into the products

Available for free starting in September 2026 on Proton Lumo and Infomaniak Euria, as well as on mono.chat, Safe Swiss Cloud, and chat.publicai.co; for businesses via Swisscom’s Swiss AI Platform.

Your listing belongs on the map.

The swissAI Landscape provides a comprehensive view of the Swiss AI ecosystem, from infrastructure to applications. As a corporate member, you are part of it.

Your experience matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a Swiss alternative to ChatGPT?

Yes. swissAI compares twenty Swiss AI chatbots, including Giotto.ai, botts.ai, mono.chat, Euria, myAI, and Lumo. They differ in terms of whether the company, hosting provider, or model is Swiss. swissAI does not recommend any products and does not publish a ranking.

What makes an AI chatbot “Swiss”?

“Swiss AI” can mean three things: a company headquartered and incorporated in Switzerland, hosting on Swiss servers, or a model developed in Switzerland. No other offering in this comparison meets all three criteria; Apertus is the first open Swiss model foundation.

Does a server location in Switzerland guarantee data protection in accordance with the DSG?

No. Storing data in Switzerland and processing it in the United States are not mutually exclusive, and having a Swiss headquarters does not guarantee that the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG) applies. The contract, retention periods, and subcontractors are the determining factors—even for web searches.

Which models are used in Swiss AI chatbots?

Today, open-source models such as Qwen, GLM, Kimi, and DeepSeek are predominantly in use. Apertus 1.5 is available on Proton Lumo and Infomaniak Euria—even for free—and runs on mono.chat, Safe Swiss Cloud, and chat.publicai.co. Swisscom offers it to business customers via the Swiss AI Platform.

What should I keep in mind before starting work at the company?

Check where the model and chats are hosted, where the model comes from, whether the training exclusion is specified in the contract, how long chats are retained, who the subcontractors are, whether the Swiss Data Protection Act applies, what restrictions the free license imposes, and what liability the provider assumes.
