About LuzIA
LUZIA is an AI-powered application based in Madrid, Spain, designed to bring advanced artificial intelligence capabilities directly to users through popular messaging services like WhatsApp and Telegram. It utilizes models from major providers such as OpenAI and Stability AI to provide conversational assistance and creative tools. The company prioritizes European data standards, hosting its personal data exclusively on Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers located within the European Economic Area (EEA). While it incorporates US-developed AI technologies, the service emphasizes privacy compliance under GDPR and CCPA, ensuring that integrated vendors do not have direct access to personal data shared through the app.
