The problem with ChatGPT
OpenAI - the creator of ChatGPT - owns your data. They want to create a super assistant that people will depend on more and more over time. OpenAI will try to trap users in their platform, making it hard to switch to something else - because they hold on to their data and workflows. With Sila, we provide a counterbalance: a ChatGPT‑like experience where you (or your team, organization) own the data and can use any AI models.
How Sila solves this
- Own your data: Keep your conversations, assistants, and files under your control with local-first storage
- Workspaces: Separate work and personal AI conversations into different workspaces stored in different locations
- Import from ChatGPT: Migrate your existing conversations and memory about you to maintain continuity
