Best European Alternatives to ChatGPT (2026)
ChatGPT is made by OpenAI, a US company. Unless you turn it off, your conversations can be used to train future models, and everything you type is stored under US law. European AI assistants are built to handle your questions privately, and the options below work just as well for everyday writing, summarising, and answering questions.
Replace ChatGPT with a private AI assistant based in Europe. Compare Le Chat (Mistral AI), Lumo (Proton), all operated under European privacy law.
