Best General AI Assistants for Firms
For: Any professional firm
Business-tier assistants that keep client data out of model training by default. Top 4, scored out of 100 on our six-part rubric (security & compliance = 20%). Reviewed 2026-10-16.
These scores come from desk research (vendor pages, industry surveys and published reviews), not hands-on testing yet. Scores within 1 point are treated as ties. Security and compliance claims are the vendors' own. Verify them with each vendor's documentation (for example a SOC 2 report) before you put client data in.
