This guide concerns Infomaniak products that integrate the use of artificial intelligence (AI), including kSuite, kChat, kDrive, Mail, Site Creator…

Preamble

• The use of AI at Infomaniak is based on a transparent and ethical approach.
• Each service integrating AI follows strict principles to ensure reliable and respectful use:
  • The protection of information is ensured by the complete processing of data within infrastructures located exclusively in Switzerland, thus guaranteeing full control over digital sovereignty,
  • the results generated are never used to train models or for advertising purposes,
  • and AI is not intended to replace humans, but to assist them.

kChat

The AI integrated into kChat saves time in exchanges: it can rephrase sentences, generate quick responses, correct spelling, or adjust the tone of a message. The user retains full control over the suggestions, which are local to each session only.

Mail Infomaniak

In the Mail application, AI assists in drafting emails. It can generate content from a few keywords, rephrase or structure a message, adapting to different tones. Nothing is sent automatically, and the user can modify the texts at any time.

Site Creator

An AI-powered writing assistant enables Site Creator to quickly generate content tailored to various types of web pages. This service is useful for those launching a site and looking to produce clear, optimized, and relevant texts.

kDrive

On kDrive, artificial intelligence is deployed at two complementary levels to simplify document management.

On the one hand, an AI assistant accessible via Euria allows you to interact with text files stored in the drive. This module can answer questions about the content of a document, summarize, translate, or extract useful information. It is particularly effective for reading reports, understanding complex texts, or quickly generating an overview of a file.

Moreover, AI facilitates the automatic classification of files imported into kDrive thanks to an intelligent categorization system. By analyzing the content, kDrive can assign files to categories such as “administrative”, “photo”, “personal”, etc. This allows for quick sorting and better search, especially for files synchronized from different devices (computer, mobile).

On-demand AI with AI Tools

Infomaniak provides a platform that allows for easy integration of open-source models into custom projects. It is possible to leverage text analysis, content generation, translation, or other AI uses via on-demand calls. These services enable developers to benefit from high-performance AI without relying on closed or proprietary solutions.

Responsibilities of the parties

Data provided to the AI

• Infomaniak's AI is currently based by default on these models.
  • Among them, Mistral, Whisper, DeepSeek, Llama, granite…
• When using a writing assistant, the messages and requests sent to the AI are exclusively processed in Switzerland by Infomaniak's infrastructure.
• No data is processed or shared with a third party.

Data provided by the AI

• The language model generates text based on the data it has assimilated during its training, devoid of consciousness, intentions, or moral responsibilities.
• It is crucial that the user is aware that the information generated by the model is not always accurate and should not be considered an infallible source of information.
• He must exercise his critical judgment and verify the information provided by the assistant with reliable sources when necessary.
  • For example, if someone uses the model for crucial tasks such as medical, legal, or financial advice, they must take extra precautions to confirm the information provided by the model.
• In case of inappropriate or dangerous use of this assistant, the responsibility lies with the user who takes these actions.

Manually translated page
