A private AI assistant for business documents
Alan works on the files in your vBoxxCloud workspace. It is developed by Comma Soft, a German software and AI company, and hosted in Germany.
Alan runs on the open Gemma 4 model, hosted in Germany. Your documents and prompts stay in the EU.
Your files, prompts and answers are never used for training. That is contractually guaranteed.
Alan can only search, summarise or quote documents the user is allowed to open.
Answers cite the source file and page, so you can check them in the original document.
