The proposal

AI that works for you,
not for Big Tech.

🔐

Real privacy

Your queries run on European infrastructure under GDPR. No conversation leaves the cooperative ecosystem or feeds third-party models.

🤝

Mutualist model

The cost is shared among those who use the service. The more members, the lower the cost per organization. The surplus is reinvested in the ecosystem.

OpenAI-compatible API

Connect your current tools without changing code. Compatible with Open WebUI, n8n, LangChain, Cursor, Continue.dev and any standard client.

🧠

Quality models

Qwen3-30B and above. Capability comparable to GPT-4o, fully open source and auditable.

🌱

Technological sovereignty

No dependency on US corporations. Infrastructure that can migrate to own hardware when volume justifies it.

📊

Full transparency

Costs, usage and technical decisions open to members. Cooperative governance over the shared infrastructure.

Comparison

Legal framework

Your data is not equally protected
in Europe and the US.

The difference is not technical: it's legal. Where the servers run determines what rights you have over your information.

🇪🇺
Europe — GDPR
General Data Protection Regulation
Protected
  • Right to know exactly what data is collected and for what purpose
  • Right to be forgotten: you can demand that all your information be deleted
  • Explicit consent required before processing data
  • Fines of up to 4% of global revenue for privacy violations
  • Prohibited to transfer data to countries without equivalent protection
  • Companies must demonstrate compliance, not just declare it
🇺🇸
US — No federal law
Cloud Act · FISA · Patriot Act
High risk
  • No single federal data privacy law exists
  • Cloud Act: the government can demand data from tech companies even if servers are in another country
  • FISA / Patriot Act: allows mass surveillance of communications without public court order
  • Companies can use your data to train models unless you explicitly disable it
  • No federally guaranteed right to be forgotten
  • OpenAI, Microsoft and Google are subject to these laws even when operating in Europe
💡

The conclusion is simple: if your data runs on OpenAI, Microsoft or Google servers, it's under US jurisdiction — no matter where you are. With IA Colectiva, the servers are in Europe and GDPR applies. Full stop.

Are you interested in the service?

This survey helps us gauge real demand before launching. It's not a payment commitment — it's a signal of interest that determines whether the project is collectively viable.

Fill out this form if you are an MIT member, a worker at a cooperative, or someone interested in accessing the privacy-first AI service.

Individual access with guaranteed privacy and unlimited tokens for regular use

Your information is used only to assess the project's viability. It is not shared with third parties.

Thank you for joining! We've registered your interest. We'll contact you when the service is ready to launch. The more of us there are, the cheaper it gets for everyone.

Fill out this form if you represent a cooperative, worker-recovered company, social and solidarity economy organization, or any entity interested in the service for its team.

Total price for the organization, not per individual user

The information is confidential and will be used exclusively to assess the viability of the collective service.

Thank you for adding your organization! We've registered your interest. We'll reach out to coordinate the next steps. The more organizations, the more sustainable and affordable the service for all.
