Gilbert and Recapro: five verified points
Findings from gilbert-assistant.fr on October 16, 2026. Sources and their archives are listed below the table.
Hosting and qualifications
Gilbert states that it is hosted in France at OVHcloud, on an instance qualified SecNumCloud by ANSSI and HDS certified; its pricing grid ties both mentions to the Enterprise plan. Recapro Cloud keeps its data at rest at Scaleway, fr-par region, and holds neither a SecNumCloud qualification nor an HDS certification.
Installation on your servers
Gilbert’s pricing grid offers “deployment in a private cloud or on site” in its Enterprise plan, on quote. Recapro publishes the price of Fortress On-Premise: €19.90/seat/month, 10 seats minimum, hardware extra from €4,990.
Stated accuracy
Gilbert states 98.2% accuracy in French. We found no published methodology on gilbert-assistant.fr as of October 16, 2026. Recapro publishes no accuracy rate.
Private debrief
Recapro separates the shared summary from a private debrief that you dictate after the meeting. We found no equivalent feature documented on gilbert-assistant.fr as of October 16, 2026; Gilbert offers team spaces kept apart and role-based access.
AI models
Gilbert states that it uses open-weight models run at OVHcloud: Whisper for transcription, Mistral Small for summaries. Recapro also uses open-weight models, run on its servers or on yours with Fortress On-Premise.

Gilbert or Recapro? it depends on your constraint
Both tools are French, hosted in France and bot-free. The choice comes down to the hosting framework you require and the deployment model.
Choose Gilbert if…
- Your requirements call for SecNumCloud-qualified or HDS-certified hosting, documented by the publisher.
- You want AI models named publicly (Whisper, Mistral Small) and run at OVHcloud.

- You want to query your meeting history with AI agents and an MCP server.
Choose Recapro if…
- You want to install the tool on your own servers at a published price: €19.90/seat/month, 10 seats minimum, hardware extra from €4,990.
- You need an air-gap mode, with no outbound connection at all.
- You want a private debrief, kept separate from the shared summary.
- Your team has at least 5 people and the Cloud Team price suits you: €22.90/user/month, or €17.90 billed annually.
