Pryvan vs Google Gemini
Gemini for Workspace is a strong multimodal assistant running on the cloud of the world's largest advertising company. Pryvan gives comparable help without that commercial gravity well.
Gemini wins on multimodal range for Google Workspace shops. Pryvan wins when you don't want confidential work flowing through an ad company's cloud under US law.

Does Google train on Workspace data?+
Google states enterprise Workspace content is not used to train its models, but the data is still processed under US jurisdiction on the infrastructure of an advertising company, which is the concern Pryvan removes.
Can Pryvan match Gemini on multimodal tasks?+
It depends on the open model you choose. For text-heavy office work the difference is small; for cutting-edge video understanding, Gemini is ahead today.
Your confidential documents should not pass through an advertising company's cloud.
Gemini is excellent for organisations comfortable on Google Cloud. European teams with sovereignty requirements get the assistance they need from Pryvan, without the jurisdictional and commercial exposure.
