Comparison

Generative assistant or decision platform: what are you looking for?

Both approaches are legitimate. They do not solve the same problem. This page helps you identify which one is yours.

What generative assistants do very well

  • Fast deployment, immediate adoption

    An enterprise generative assistant (Microsoft 365 Copilot, Gemini for Workspace, ChatGPT Enterprise) goes live in days and needs no long training programme.

  • Individual drafting and synthesis

    Broad coverage of personal production tasks: email, minutes, first-pass summaries, rewrites.

  • Low cost of entry

    Per-seat billing, a short learning curve, experimentation without a cross-functional programme.

  • Native fit in office suites

    The assistant sits in Word, Outlook, Docs or Slack : where individual work already happens.

What NEXA does differently

  • Sources and a confidence score on every deliverable

    Each assertion in a deliverable is linked to its sources and carries a visible confidence score.

  • A formal validation chain

    Draft, reviewed, approved: each stage records the identity of the person who signs.

  • An exportable audit pack per decision

    An Audit Pack can be exported for a committee, a regulator or a statutory auditor.

  • Identical replay of a past execution

    The technical receipt of a run (versions, parameters, inputs) lets you replay the execution under the same conditions.

How to choose

Is an enterprise generative assistant the right tool?

If your issue is speeding up individual production, a generative assistant is probably the right tool, and it will cost less. Deployment in days, immediate adoption, fit with suites already in place.

When is a decision platform such as NEXA the right tool?

If your issue is defending a collective decision before a committee, a regulator or a statutory auditor, the question is no longer production speed but the solidity of the dossier: sources, signed validation, audit export, run replay.

Do you have to pick one or the other?

No. Most of our clients keep their generative assistants for individual use. NEXA is used on processes where a decision binds the organisation.
