What is ChatGPT for business?

ChatGPT for business means giving employees ChatGPT-style AI chat inside a company-controlled environment, with business data protected, access managed and usage governed. WonkaChat is a private alternative to ChatGPT Business and Team: an AI workspace hosted in Azure West Europe, connected to your tools and certified ISO 27001.

Most companies do not start from zero. Employees already paste emails, contracts and customer data into personal ChatGPT accounts because it saves them time. That is shadow AI: useful for the individual, invisible to IT and risky for the company. Banning it rarely works. Offering a better, approved alternative does. The real question is not whether your teams use ChatGPT for business, but where company data goes when they do.

WonkaChat keeps the familiar chat experience and adds what a company actually needs. Answers are grounded in your own knowledge and systems, from SharePoint documents to Odoo, Salesforce or HubSpot records. Your organisation chooses the AI model that fits its needs and security requirements, with EU-hosted models included or your own model API key. Admins manage who can access which data and agents, with single sign-on, audit logs and human approval for important actions. And it goes beyond chat: teams can create AI agents for specific tasks and AI automations for repetitive work.

The result is a private ChatGPT for companies that stays GDPR compliant by design: data hosted in the EU, a Data Processing Agreement included, and customer data never used to train public AI models. You can test it on a real use case with a 7-day free trial, without a credit card.

Why companies switch

A private ChatGPT for companies, built for European teams

Your data stays in Europe

WonkaChat is hosted in Azure West Europe (Microsoft Ireland) by default, on EU-based infrastructure with data residency controls. Data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2 or higher).

GDPR-compliant ChatGPT alternative

Wonka AI is ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant and NIS 2 compliant, with a SOC 2 Type II audit in progress. A Data Processing Agreement is included, and customer data is not used to train public AI models.

Choose your own AI model

You are not locked into one model family. Use the EU-hosted AI models included in your seat, or plug in your own model API key with your provider's billing, depending on your needs and security requirements.

Grounded in company knowledge

WonkaChat connects to the systems your team already uses (CRM, ERP, email, documents, project tools and internal databases), so answers reflect your company context instead of generic internet knowledge.

Admin controls from day one

Manage access and permissions per user and team, decide which agents are available to whom, and enforce single sign-on via Azure AD / Entra ID with MFA. Governance and audit logs are part of every paid seat.

Built for every employee

WonkaChat is designed for the whole organisation, not only early adopters. People work in simple language with shared agents and guided workflows, so adoption does not depend on a few AI experts.

ChatGPT for business: frequently asked questions

What is a good ChatGPT Business alternative for European companies?

Look for an AI workspace that keeps the chat experience employees know but runs under your company's control. WonkaChat is hosted in Azure West Europe, ISO 27001 certified, GDPR and NIS 2 compliant, lets you choose your AI model and connects to your own tools. You can compare it on a real use case with a 7-day free trial.

Is ChatGPT Team the same as ChatGPT Business?

ChatGPT Team is the earlier name of the OpenAI plan now sold as ChatGPT Business: a shared workspace for teams using OpenAI models. WonkaChat addresses the same need, AI chat for the whole team, with EU hosting by default, a choice of AI models and native connections to company systems such as Odoo, SharePoint or Salesforce.

Is using ChatGPT at work GDPR compliant?

It depends on the plan, the contract and what employees paste into it. Personal accounts are the biggest risk because the company has no agreement, no visibility and no control. WonkaChat is GDPR compliant, includes a Data Processing Agreement, hosts data in the EU and never uses customer data to train public AI models.

Where is our data stored in WonkaChat?

WonkaChat is hosted in Azure West Europe (Microsoft Ireland) by default, on EU-based infrastructure with data residency controls. Data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.2 or higher. Enterprise customers can also choose their own cloud or an on-premise deployment when contracted.

How do we stop shadow AI without slowing teams down?

Banning ChatGPT usually pushes usage onto personal devices. The more effective route is to offer an approved private ChatGPT for the company that is at least as useful: connected to internal knowledge, available to everyone and governed by IT with single sign-on, permissions and audit logs. That is the role WonkaChat plays.

How much does WonkaChat cost compared to ChatGPT Team?

WonkaChat uses transparent per-seat pricing, with 20% off on annual billing. Seats can include EU-hosted AI models with no usage bills, or you can use your own model API key. Organisations with 1,000+ seats get custom Enterprise pricing. Check our pricing page for your exact team size, and OpenAI's site for theirs.

Can WonkaChat connect to our existing tools?

Yes. WonkaChat connects to company tools such as CRM, ERP, email, documents, project tools and internal databases, including Odoo, SharePoint, Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, Slack, Notion and Google Drive. Employees can find information and trigger actions without switching between applications.

Can important AI actions require human approval?

Yes. WonkaChat supports human-in-the-loop workflows, so actions such as updating a record or sending a reply can be reviewed before they are executed. Combined with permissions per user and team, this lets you give agents real work without losing control over what happens in your systems.
