Centrus AI vs ChatGPT: what's the difference?

ChatGPT receives over 10 million queries each day, and impressively hit 100 million weekly users in November 2023. So, how does Centrus AI compare to ChatGPT?

1. The information source

Centrus AI sources all of its knowledge from your company's information. It integrates with your digital tools and platforms, and the company documents you upload to it. This means every interaction is based on your specific business context, ensuring relevance and accuracy. Moreover, Centrus prioritises data security, implementing robust encryption and access controls to keep your sensitive information protected at all times.

ChatGPT is different because it sources its information from data it finds across the internet, making it a generalised tool that might not answer to the benefit of your specific needs. This means ChatGPT is difficult to completely trust and integrate for daily business use. This is why many organisations have banned the use of ChatGPT to prevent incorrect information being released in external communications.

2. Integrations

One of Centrus AI's most powerful differences is its ability to integrate with an ever-growing range of digital software. From Google Drive to Microsoft Teams, Centrus allows you to query data across multiple locations that hold your organisation's information without switching between applications. This seamless integration dramatically improves efficiency and provides a holistic view of your business information.

ChatGPT can only be integrated with the back-end locations that its developers choose, giving no control to the user on where they want to pull data from.

3. Transparency and Source Attribution

Centrus AI prioritises transparency; every response includes references to the specific documents or data sources it used to provide your answer, allowing you to verify information with ease and confidence. Your Centrus admins have access to chat histories, allowing for full transparency and audit trails. Therefore, this feature not only builds trust but also helps in maintaining accountability and ensuring compliance within your organisation.

ChatGPT, often provides information without clear sources, and you may have to ask it where it sourced the information from before visiting that website and double checking its validity for yourself. For many queries ChatGPT admits itself that there wasn't any one source it retrieved data from, explaining it uses general knowledge. This can be disadvantageous when used in a business setting where you need to back up the information's location to ensure its integrity.

4. Customised AI Solutions

Centrus AI goes beyond general-purpose artificial intelligence. We offer additional custom AI development to address your specific business needs. Whether it's for streamlining particular operations, automating complex processes, or developing unique AI-driven tools, Centrus can work with you to create tailored solutions that drive efficiency and innovation in your business. This includes developing tailored AI for your most time-consuming tasks.

ChatGPT has regular updates but it will only ever be an all-purpose AI search engine that ultimately competes with Google Search. OpenAI focuses on making ChatGPT more human in its upgrades which is not so much our focus at Centrus AI. We want to curate your very own personalised AI assistant to help you where you need it most.

5. Strict Data Privacy and Compliance

Centrus AI has grown from bottom up with business privacy and compliance in mind. With your very own version of the software, designed specifically for your business day-to-day use, everything that goes into your Centrus account stays within your organisation, and is protected.

OpenAI openly states that ChatGPT is not secure for businesses. If someone in your organisation mistakenly shares sensitive information in ChatGPT, it could lead to potential privacy concerns and data breaches. Therefore many businesses like Apple and Amazon have banned employees from using the software.
