Workplace-focused: Designed for compliance with guardrails, unlike ChatGPT's generic unfettered responses.
Rapid, Accurate Answers: Quickly searches known authoritative sources to give instant, high-quality answers vs slow human research.
Personalised Experience: Separate accounts for each user/company vs ChatGPT's one-size-fits-all approach
Continuous Upgrades: Can add new capabilities and data sources regularly, ensuring it is up to date and current, while ChatGPT stays static.
Accountable Service: Can follow up with Flagship about any issues, unlike opaque AI systems
