Not just another AI chat tool
General AI tools don't know your board, your permissions, or your materials. GovernAI does, securely and automatically.
| General AI tools (ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini) | GovernAI | |
|---|---|---|
Board material access | Starts from zero every session — no access to your materials | Synced automatically from Diligent Boards, no manual upload |
Governance permissions | Not permission-aware — no concept of who can see what | Scoped entirely to each director's existing Diligent permissions, no configuration required |
Data training | Enterprise data can be exposed to consumer-grade tools | Never used to train any AI model, by anyone, never goes out to public record |
Data handling | Sensitive materials must be pasted or attached outside your secure environment | Materials never leave Diligent's secure, permissioned environment |
Citations & audit trail | No citations, no auditable record | Every answer cited; logged queries support Duty of Care documentation |
Setup | Re-explain context and re-upload files every session | No configuration, no setup — valuable from day one
