What happens to my company's AI brain if I switch AI providers?

Your company's AI brain stays. The brain is your business knowledge—the files, documents and facts stored on your server. The AI provider is the reasoning engine that reads from your brain. When you switch providers, your brain doesn't move; only the reasoning engine changes.

Your AI brain and your AI provider are separate things

Your AI brain is your company's knowledge: the files, documents, customer records, policies and facts you've collected. It is data, stored in one place, on your server.

An AI provider—Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or another—is a reasoning engine. It reads from your brain and answers questions using what your brain knows.

These are separate. Your brain is yours; the provider is a tool you choose. Because they are separate, you can change one without moving the other.

How to switch AI providers

Most systems let you change providers by pointing to a different account or API key. That one change tells your system to use a different reasoning engine—and that's all.

Your brain stays where it is. Your data does not move. Everything else stays exactly the same.

What stays and what changes

What stays:

• Your AI brain and all the files and facts in it
• Your business data
• Your agents and workflows
• Your team's work

What changes:

• Which AI model reasons over your brain
• How responses sound or how fast they arrive, depending on the model

In Ownbox

An Ownbox is built on a server your company owns. Your Shared AI Brain—your business knowledge—lives on that server. Your AI account (your Claude or ChatGPT plan) is separate.

To switch providers in your Ownbox, change which AI account its settings use. Your Shared Brain stays on your server. Your data does not move.

Because your brain is data on your own server, and your AI account is separate, you can switch providers anytime without losing anything.
