On December 5, 2024, OpenAI handed over 5.2 million lines of ChatGPT chat history to US justice under subpoena. On June 18, 2024, Anthropic did the same. No European company was notified. Sourix exists to make sure this never happens again.
1. AI will not be neutral.
When ChatGPT answers “the best HR SaaS are...”, it's not an objective truth. It's an opinion trained on data 78% dominated by Anglo-Saxon content. French and European brands are systematically under-represented, even the excellent ones. Measuring that is how you take back control.
2. Your data is not a product.
Profound, Peec, AthenaHQ — all host their data in the US or on AWS. The Cloud Act compels them to hand it over on simple subpoena, even for their European clients. Sourix runs on Scaleway Paris. Our architecture makes this transmission legally impossible: our servers are not subject to US law. Your scans, your prompts, your competitors — nothing leaves Europe.
3. Mistral first.
At Sourix, the French AI Mistral is systematically tested in every scan. Not as an option, not as an upsell. Non-disableable server-side. When we say “sovereignty”, we start by supporting the French AI ecosystem. Not by slapping a flag on a US stack.
4. The DPO is not an email address.
At US competitors, “DPO” means support@profound.ai and a 4-day average response time. At Sourix, the DPO is a human reachable at dpo@sourix.fr. Response within 24 business hours. You can exercise your right to erasure, portability, objection — and it actually works (effective deletion from auth.users Supabase included, not just a soft-delete).
5. The assistant, not the dashboard.
Marketing tools show you graphs. Sourix tells you what to do. Three concrete actions every week, each with “Handle it / Later / Ignore”. We designed this for CEOs who've never opened Semrush in their life. Because marketing agencies are going to disappear with AI agents. Leaders are taking over.
6. Fair pricing, not extortion.
Profound: $500 minimum, $5,000 for Enterprise. To measure text. Sourix: €39 to get started. Because a European SME should not have to choose between hiring an intern and knowing whether ChatGPT mentions them. Our gross margin is above 85% on all plans — we don't need to hold you hostage.
