FOR TEAMS WITH CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS
ChatGPT, or a private cited library?
General AI is excellent for a lot of work. For confidential, team-shared, citation-first document work, it has real limits. Here is an honest look at where each one fits.
Free to start. Pro+ is $60/mo.
When general AI is enough
For a lot of everyday work, ChatGPT or Claude is the right tool, and Tatsulok would be overkill:
- Brainstorming and drafting from public knowledge
- One-off questions you can verify yourself
- Summarizing a single document you already have open
- Coding help and general research
Where the difference shows up
The gap appears when documents are confidential, shared across a team, and the answer has to be verifiable.
Answers cite the exact source
General AI (ChatGPT, Claude)
Often uncited or hard to trace back to a specific document and line.
Tatsulok
Every answer links to the exact source document and line.
Shared team library
General AI (ChatGPT, Claude)
Paid team tiers add shared projects with files, organized around chats rather than a durable library.
Tatsulok
A persistent, structured team library is the core, not an attachment to a chat.
Access control and governance
General AI (ChatGPT, Claude)
Limited per-document access control for a team.
Tatsulok
Per-item access control and sharing built in.
Grounded in your documents
General AI (ChatGPT, Claude)
Strong general knowledge; grounding depends on what you paste in.
Tatsulok
Grounded in your own documents by default, not a public model.
Built for high-stakes verification
General AI (ChatGPT, Claude)
Harder to verify for due diligence, legal, or compliance work.
Tatsulok
Citation-first by design, made for answers you must defend.
Your documents and model training
General AI (ChatGPT, Claude)
Depends on the plan and settings you choose.
Tatsulok
Your documents never train a public model.
When you need a private cited library
Tatsulok earns its place exactly where general AI strains:
- Answering due-diligence or compliance questions you have to cite
- A shared team library everyone works from, with access control
- Confidential documents that should never train a public model
- Work where "where did this come from?" must always have an answer
Bring your documents. Keep the citations.
