Alan AI, your private assistant for summarising, drafting and answering questions, running on EU-hosted models.
ChatGPT and Copilot send your business data to US AI providers
Pasting a contract into ChatGPT or asking Microsoft Copilot to summarise an email means sending that data to OpenAI or Microsoft for processing, often used to train future models. For regulated industries that's a non-starter. Alan, vBoxxCloud's built-in assistant, runs on EU-hosted models with strict no-training guarantees. It can summarise documents, answer questions about your files, draft replies and generate meeting notes, without your data ever leaving the EU. Beyond residency, teams want AI that is honest about its sources. Alan cites the file or message a summary comes from, so users can verify the answer instead of trusting a black box. That is what makes AI usable in regulated work.
How Alan AI works
Open Alan from any file, channel or meeting. Ask 'summarise this contract', 'draft a reply', or 'what did we decide last week?'
Alan retrieves relevant files and messages (respecting your permissions) and grounds its answer with citations you can click.
All inference runs on EU-hosted infrastructure. Prompts and outputs are never used to train models. Conversations are stored only in your workspace.
How teams use Alan
Summarise long reports, draft email replies and translate between EU languages without copy-pasting into a public tool.
Generate meeting notes and action items from recordings, filed back to the relevant project channel.
Ask natural-language questions like 'when does the lease for office X expire?' and get an answer with a citation.
Alan AI specs

Why Alan fits regulated work
Every model call runs in EU data centres, so confidential content never leaves your jurisdiction.
Every response links back to the file or message it came from, so users can verify before trusting.
Alan only retrieves content the asking user is allowed to see, so AI cannot become a sideways data leak.
Frequently asked questions
Which AI model does Alan use?+
Alan uses GLM, an EU-developed model by Comma Soft. All inference runs on infrastructure at Deutsche Telekom in Germany, fully inside the EU.
Is my data used to train AI models?+
No. Our DPA explicitly forbids training on customer data. Prompts and outputs are not retained beyond the conversation context.
Can Alan answer questions about my files?+
Yes. Alan uses retrieval-augmented generation against your workspace, and respects your permissions, so it never surfaces files a user wouldn't otherwise be able to open.
What can I do with Alan today?+
Summarise documents, draft emails, translate between EU languages, generate meeting minutes from recordings, extract action items, and answer natural-language questions about your file library.
Can I disable Alan for some users?+
Yes. Alan can be enabled per workspace, per group or per user, and disabled entirely if your policy requires it.
Does Alan work in my language?+
Alan handles Dutch, English, German, French, Danish, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Swedish for input, summarisation and translation.
