ChatGPT alternative
The Private AI Alternative to ChatGPT
Everything you use an AI assistant for. Without giving up your privacy.
How do the big American AI apps handle your data?
They are genuinely useful, they are cheap, and almost nobody asks where the catch is. The catch is handing over your data: your private, personal chats stored on someone else's servers, folded into a profile, often used to train the next model. And at worst, sold on to third parties. Specifically:
Your words train the model
What you type can end up teaching the next version of the assistant. Once your text has shaped a model, no delete button reaches it again.
Your history sits on their servers
Every chat you have ever had sits in the data centre of a large American corporation. Their rules, their staff, and any authority that comes asking.
Your questions become a profile
A file on you. The provider knows your preferences, your private chats, your searches, how you browse and a good deal more. What is all of it collected for? Right now, mostly personalised advertising. And in future?
Far away when it matters
If something goes wrong, there is nobody to turn to. The company is far away and reachable only through an AI chat. No influence, no direct way to contact anyone.
MATE is built differently. From the ground up.
A Swiss company based in Bern. An AI that processes your data without collecting it. MATE Cloud runs on machines we own, powered by renewable energy. Your conversations stay yours. That is not a setting you have to find, it is the MATE standard.
- Your history stays on your device
- Processed in Switzerland, on hardware we own
- Never used to train a model
- No ads, no profiles, no data for sale
- Every feature on every plan
Point by point
You choose where it runs
On-device Mode lets you work completely offline. MATE Cloud handles the demanding work in Switzerland, on our own machines, powered by renewable energy. Nothing is kept.
None of it trains a model
Your conversations are never used for training. There is no setting to hunt down and no default quietly working against you.
Your history belongs to you
Chat history and Memory stay on your device. No server copy to leak, no archive for anyone to demand. Deleted locally means deleted.
No advertising business behind it
MATE is paid for by subscriptions, not by advertising revenue. Nothing you write turns into an ad, a profile or a product someone else buys.
Swiss company, Swiss courts
Swisswise is in Bern. A company you can actually reach.
Search only when you want it
Web search stays off until you ask. When you use it, the request goes out without your account and without your identity.
This website does not follow you
No analytics, no advertising cookies, no tracking pixels, no session recording. The only things kept in your browser are the colour and the language you picked.
Privacy costs nothing extra
Every promise on this page applies on the free plan too. Paying gets you more capacity, never better treatment.
