amaiko vs Moveworks: Published Price, German Hosting, Built for Teams (2026)

Hosted in Germany, on amaiko’s own infrastructure

amaiko is hosted in Germany on amaiko’s own infrastructure, and the AI processes your data inside the EU only. Every amaiko workspace runs there, with no request and no surcharge. amaiko is GDPR-compliant, and your data does not sit in the Microsoft cloud.

Moveworks runs on AWS. Its security page lists the regions US Commercial, EU Commercial, US GovCloud, Canada, Australia, UK and Japan, and names no country for the EU region. Its subprocessor list for the EU data centers places AWS, Microsoft and OpenAI in the EU and names Google LLC, for “Infrastructure services, Generative AI, Email and office applications”, with processing location United States. The same security page lists ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 42001 certifications. amaiko is ISO 27001-aligned and ISO 42001-conformant without a certificate, and what the amaiko seat buys is a known location: Germany.

For your company that means: your data protection officer documents one country for amaiko, Germany. With Moveworks, the country behind “EU” and the US subprocessor are questions for the contract.

In Teams from the start, without an Azure Bot

amaiko lives in Microsoft Teams, in the chat your team already has open. It brings its own Teams app: your IT creates no bot in your Azure subscription and looks after no client secret. The free trial starts with a Microsoft 365 work account or your company email.

Moveworks reaches Teams as well, and the route depends on where your tenant is hosted. Its Teams Store guide says: “This method is only applicable for customers hosted in the US commercial data centers. For all other regions, use the Non-App Store guide.” That Non-App Store guide asks for an Azure subscription, an App Service Plan and a Teams administrator. Your IT creates the Azure Bot, generates a client secret (“we recommend 2 years”) and reports its expiry date to Moveworks, then builds a manifest and uploads it as a custom app. Policy assignments for a user group “can take up to 72 hours to take effect”.

For a company that chooses Moveworks’ EU region, that means a bot your IT builds and maintains in your own Azure tenant. amaiko’s Teams app needs none of that.

Memory that lasts past today

amaiko remembers how each person works, and overnight it consolidates conversations into company knowledge. Users can have amaiko correct or delete what it remembers. Teams that work with amaiko spend 35% less time searching, and new hires get up to speed 57% faster.

Moveworks’ context documentation says: “Context is automatically cleared every 24 hours from our Agentic AI reasoner.” Admins can change the window and are advised to stay between 1 and 48 hours. Its page on continuous learning adds: “There are no automatic long-term changes in behavior that occur solely based on providing feedback or from interactions between the user and the Assistant.” A memory feature like ChatGPT’s is, in Moveworks’ words, something it “is designing”.

For your team that means context you explained on Monday is still there on Friday, and next year.

Your first question this week

amaiko starts in Teams without a rollout project. It prepares a morning briefing, triages the inbox with Active Inbox, and reads and drafts across Outlook, calendar, OneDrive, SharePoint, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The marketplace adds HubSpot, Dynamics 365 Business Central, Personio, Jira, Confluence, DATEV and more, and amaiko coordinates them on requests that span several systems. See how it works.

Moveworks’ homepage gives “8wks typical time to value” and names 350+ customers, “Including 10% of the Fortune 500 and 10% of the Fortune 50”. Since 15 December 2025 Moveworks belongs to ServiceNow, according to the acquisition announcement. ServiceNow’s February 2026 announcement says Moveworks can be bought “as an independent AI solution or as an integrated component of their ServiceNow deployment”. In May 2026 ServiceNow introduced ServiceNow Otto, which “combines the intelligence of Now Assist, Moveworks, and AI Experience”.

For a company with 50 or 300 people, that means your first question goes into a chat that is already open, the same week.
