Communications & mediaKimi for communications & media
Chinese AI lab (Moonshot AI) with the open-weight Kimi K2 family and an assistant that focuses strongly on agents, deep research and long documents.
Kimi is strong in its flagship K3 (2.8T parameters, 1M context), and the open-weight K2.6 can be self-hosted and is multimodal: text, image and video in one architecture, which suits transcribing and summarising interviews.

Kimi raises a concrete GDPR concern. The parent company is based in Beijing and falls under Chinese security legislation; the privacy policy does not explicitly name that jurisdiction. Keep confidential data out of the consumer app; self-hosting the open weights is the safe route. Weigh this heavily before using it in communications & media.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionCopyright and source protection weigh heavily: check whether AI output can be used without rights issues, and never enter informants' source material into a consumer chatbot.
