amaiko vs ChatGPT Enterprise: Workflow, Memory and Data Sovereignty (2026)

Your team works in Teams, not in another window

amaiko is a chat in Microsoft Teams. Your team asks where it already works, and amaiko reads and drafts across email, calendar, files, Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents, Teams chats, OneNote, To Do and SharePoint. There is no separate app to open and no new interface to learn.

ChatGPT is its own app, on desktop, web and mobile, according to OpenAI’s pricing page. It reaches Microsoft Teams through a connector: the Teams app in ChatGPT searches Teams messages and, with the actions your admins approve, sends messages or manages Planner tasks from the ChatGPT window. OpenAI’s workspace agents are used “in ChatGPT or Slack”.

For your team that means every AI question starts by switching to ChatGPT, and every answer has to travel back to Teams, by copy and paste or by a message ChatGPT sends on someone’s behalf.

Where your data lives depends on the OpenAI plan you buy

amaiko stores your data in Germany on its own infrastructure, with AI processing in the EU. That holds for every customer at the published price. There is no plan to upgrade to and no residency setting to request.

At OpenAI the answer depends on the plan. OpenAI’s data residency page offers storage in Europe to “new ChatGPT Enterprise/Edu customers”, and inference in Europe to eligible Enterprise customers who have it enabled. The same page lists what may stay outside: non-GPU processing “may still occur globally”, content sent to connected apps and web search follows the third party’s terms, and workspace metadata and user logins may be stored outside the region. In OpenAI’s words, residency “only applies to customer content for the features listed”.

ChatGPT Business, the plan with a published price, covers less. OpenAI’s Business residency page says residency is “rolling out gradually and is not yet available to all customers”, does not include inference, and that “a copy of every prompt and response is also stored in the United States for a limited time” when you choose a region outside the US.

For your data protection officer that means reading a feature list per plan, and checking it again with every new OpenAI feature. With amaiko the answer is one sentence, and it is the same for every feature. The details are on the security page.

Knowledge that grows without anyone building it

amaiko learns how each person works and consolidates your team’s conversations into lasting company knowledge overnight: decisions, context, who knows what. When an employee leaves, that knowledge stays. amaiko also acts before anyone asks, with briefings and summaries ready when your team starts its day. amaiko teams spend 35% less time searching and onboard new hires up to 57% faster.

In ChatGPT, memory remembers what a user shares to personalise that user’s answers. Work that runs on its own schedule lives in workspace agents, which have their own memory: someone creates an agent, connects its apps, sets its schedule and publishes it. OpenAI describes the idea as “build once, improve through use, then share”. Since 6 May 2026, workspace agents are billed on credits.

For your company that means someone has to build and maintain every agent, and pay for its runs. With amaiko the knowledge builds itself while your team works.

Price: published, per user, unlimited tokens

amaiko costs €41.58 per user per month billed annually (€499 per user per year), or €49.90 billed monthly, from five seats, with unlimited tokens.

OpenAI publishes no price for ChatGPT Enterprise: the pricing page says “Contact our sales team to discuss enterprise pricing”. The published business plan is ChatGPT Business: $20 per standard seat per month billed annually, or $25 monthly, for teams of 2 to 200. OpenAI states its prices in US dollars and notes they may vary by country and currency.

On list price, a ChatGPT Business seat costs less than an amaiko seat. What the $20 does not include: inference in the EU, which OpenAI offers on Enterprise, not on Business; storage without a US copy of every prompt; and usage beyond the included limits, which OpenAI sells as workspace credits, as it does workspace agent runs. The table shows seat prices only; amaiko prices are net, billed annually.

For your budget that means the only OpenAI price you can calculate today is for the plan with the weaker data answer. The plan with EU inference starts with a sales call.
