intakto vs ChatGPT: the difference is the memory

ChatGPT meets you fresh each time and stores your data with the provider. Hermes, by intakto, remembers for good, and the memory lives on a server you own in the EU. It cannot be taken, lost, or locked inside a corporation.

How is intakto different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is an AI model and a chat product: it remembers you in a limited way and stores your data on the provider’s servers. intakto is a managed personal assistant, Hermes, that can run on the same kind of model but keeps a lasting memory on a server you own in the EU. The difference is not how clever the model is. It is who owns the memory: with ChatGPT the provider does, with intakto you do, and you can take it with you when you leave.

A comparison on memory and ownership, with no games over price.

This is not about ChatGPT being bad

ChatGPT and Claude are strong models, and Hermes can run on them too. The difference is not the model. It is who owns the memory. Models catch up to each other and change every few months. The memory of your work builds up over years, and it cannot be copied.

If the memory belongs to a provider, you are tied to that provider. If it lives on your server, you are free to switch the model whenever you like, and the memory moves with you. More on how the memory works.

Three things ChatGPT does not give you

what it means in practice
01

Continuity

Hermes remembers every client, project and decision. You do not paste the context into each new chat. The longer you work together, the more she is worth.

02

Independence

Your server, your model key, your memory. Decide to leave and you take the whole server with full access. No lock-in to a single provider.

03

Data in the EU

Your work history sits on a server you own, hosted in the EU, under EU rules. intakto keeps no copies.

Put simply

ChatGPT is a very clever stranger: clever every time, but never yours. Hermes is an assistant who knows you, and knows you better every month. The model can change. The memory is the part that stays, and with intakto it stays with you.
