# Textcortex ## Kurzbeschreibung **“Search your company knowledge smarter with AI agents.”** **TextCortex **is an AI platform for Enterprise AI, Company Knowledge, Workflow Automation, and AI Agents. Officially, the product is now positioned as a model-agnostic agent infrastructure that enables companies to create AI agents without code, apply them to company data, and integrate them into existing work environments. At the same time, the pricing page still highlights strong classic assistance features such as writing, translation, rewriting, voice features, data analysis, and browser integration. ## Claim Search your company knowledge smarter with AI agents ## Geeignet für - API Integration - Automation / Workflows - Data Analysis - Data Extraction / Document Analysis - Email / Communication - Customer Service & Chatbots - Marketing & Advertising - Productivity & Planning - Research - Law / Compliance - Writing & Editing - Texts / Content - Translations - Sales / Sales - Knowledge Management / Internal Search ## Kernfunktionen - Automation - Image generation - Chatbot - Data Analysis - AI agents - Paraphrase - Reasoning model - Text generation - Translation - Knowledge Base ## Preismodell - **free:** Free basic use of many core features; suitable for testing and for simple AI writing and chat workflows. **14-day trial period** TextCortex mentions a 14-day trial period to try out all features with higher usage. - **subscription:** Extended access to AI writing features, ZenoChat, reasoning/model features, knowledge features, image/text generation, and more usage capacity. - **other:** **Enterprise** Multiple seats, Enterprise Knowledge Search, dedicated support, secure team/company features, higher storage/usage limits, and custom requirements. ## DSGVO und Datenschutz **Gesamteinschätzung:** Conditional **On-Prem / local hosting: indirect / not available** An on-premise or self-hosting option on the customer's own hardware is not specified on the website. EU-hosted and private environments are described, but not local operation at the customer's site. **Private Cloud / data center: partial** For enterprise customers, 'safe, private environments' in preferred regions are mentioned, as well as SLAs and dedicated capacity for TextCortex EU. However, a detailed description of a dedicated private cloud architecture or specific EU/EEA data centers is not provided on the website. **EU SaaS / managed: covered** The website mentions EU-hosted infrastructure, 'EU data residency: Guaranteed', 'TextCortex EU runs all inference on EU-based infrastructure', as well as statements that all data remains in EU-hosted infrastructure unless configured otherwise. **Hybrid: partial** The platform is designed for connecting internal company data and external models; in addition, private environments and optionally non-EU-hosted services are mentioned. However, a deployment model explicitly described as hybrid operation with a clear architecture is not specified on the website. **AVV / DPA: partial** On an EU product page, 'DPA (Article 28): Included' is explicitly stated. However, a directly accessible AVV/DPA contract text or a dedicated DPA subpage is not specified on the website. **No training: partial** The website repeatedly mentions 'Zero data training' and explains for enterprise data, knowledge base documents, and persona data that these are not used for training. At the same time, a data-related article describes, for general use of the app, browser extension, and API, possible use for model improvement with an opt-out via form. Therefore, 'No training' is not equally clear across all types of use. **Open source / transparency path: partial** There is a transparency path via open models: the EU model page mentions several 'open-weight' models and explicitly 'Llama 4 — fully open weights' as well as model-agnostic operation without lock-in. Open-source components of the platform itself, self-hostable parts, or a fully open-source approach are not specified on the website. **Data processing** According to its own website statements, TextCortex operates an EU-hosted SaaS or EU infrastructure with guaranteed EU data residency for the TextCortex EU offering. For enterprise customers, private environments in preferred regions are described. Knowledge base documents are said to be processed exclusively by TextCortex. According to the website, enterprise data is subject to a strict no-training statement; however, for general use of the app, browser extension, and API, use for model improvement is described, from which users can opt out via form. Optionally, services or LLMs hosted outside the EU are mentioned as possible and are said to be safeguarded via the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses. **Conclusion** For users in Europe, based on its own website, TextCortex appears overall most strongly as an EU-oriented managed SaaS/enterprise solution with EU data residency, EU-based inference, zero-data-training statements, and relevant certifications. However, for a truly robust GDPR approval across the entire EU/EEA, key evidence in detail is still missing on the website, especially a concretely accessible AVV/DPA, a subprocessor list, and specific data center locations. Therefore, its use is best assessed as **conditionally** GDPR-compliant, especially in the enterprise or TextCortex EU setup. **Sources** - [https://textcortex.com/](https://textcortex.com/) - [https://textcortex.com/privacy-policy](https://textcortex.com/privacy-policy) - [https://textcortex.com/post/how-we-handle-data-at-textcortex](https://textcortex.com/post/how-we-handle-data-at-textcortex) - [https://textcortex.com/ko/eu-ai-models/openrouter-alternative-europe](https://textcortex.com/ko/eu-ai-models/openrouter-alternative-europe) The website contains several clear statements regarding GDPR/DSGVO, EU data residency, EU-hosted infrastructure, zero-data training, and existing certifications. At the same time, important points for a robust assessment across the entire EU/EEA remain incomplete on the website: a specifically linked AVV/DPA text is not provided on the website, a subprocessor list is not provided on the website, and an exact server location or specific data center countries are not named. In addition, the provider’s own pages show differing statements on data usage depending on the usage context: For general use, an opt-out is mentioned, while for Enterprise and certain functions, strict no-training is promised. Therefore, GDPR-compliant use in the EU/EEA appears plausible primarily in the Enterprise or EU setup, but not without restriction for every standard use. **Positive** Positive are the provider’s own statements regarding 'GDPR-compliant', 'Built for European data sovereignty', 'EU data residency: Guaranteed', 'all inference on EU-based infrastructure', 'Zero data training', as well as the mention of ISO 27001 and SOC 2. In addition, the website mentions private environments for Enterprise customers in preferred regions and explains that knowledge base documents are processed exclusively by TextCortex. **Negative** Negative is that no specifically identifiable AVV/DPA contract text is linked on the website, no subprocessor page is provided, and no specific data center countries or providers are named. In addition, the statement regarding training is not fully consistent: In one data-related article, it is described for the app, browser extension, and API that data may be used to improve the models, with opt-out via form; by contrast, no-training is promised for Enterprise data and other areas. This argues against a universally simple assessment of the entire product usage. **Server location** The website states multiple times that services or inference are hosted in the European Union on EU-based infrastructure and that EU data residency is guaranteed. Specific countries, cities, or individual data centers in the EU/EEA are not provided on the website. For optional services or LLMs outside the EU, the website refers to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses. ## Hosting und Daten - **On-Prem / lokales Hosting:** unknown - **Private Cloud / Rechenzentrum:** teilweise / indirekt - **EU SaaS / Managed:** abgedeckt - **Hybrid:** teilweise / indirekt - **AVV / DPA:** teilweise / indirekt - **Kein Training auf Kundendaten:** teilweise / indirekt - **Open-Source / Transparenz-Pfad:** teilweise / indirekt ## Standort **Land:** Germany **Taxonomie:** Germany Text Cortex AI UG (limited liability), c/o WeWork, Kemperplatz 1, 10785 Berlin, Germany ## Vorteile - Clear enterprise focus with AI Agents, Knowledge Search, and Workflow Automation. - Model-agnostic: access to multiple major LLM families instead of vendor lock-in. - EU hosting/data sovereignty focus according to the official FAQ. - Public security/compliance signals: SOC 2, ISO 27001, Trust Center, subprocessor overview. - Good everyday usability through browser extension, integrations, and classic writing/translation features. ## Nachteile - Advanced enterprise features such as SSO / SCIM / SAML, Dedicated Deployment, and centralized billing are only publicly visible in the Enterprise plan. - I could not reliably verify a publicly separately linked AVV/DPA on the official pages — as of 27.04.2026. - TextCortex does refer to EU hosting, but at the same time mentions optional services or LLMs outside the EU that are said to be safeguarded via the EU-U.S. Privacy Framework or SCCs. - The current product communication is heavily enterprise-focused; for pure consumer/hobby use, the platform appears less focused today than it used to be. ## Quellen - Offizielle Website: https://textcortex.com/ ## Letzter Datenstand 2026-04-27 ## Originalseite https://kifox.ai/en/ki-tools/textcortex-en/
