What Elium is
Elium is a knowledge platform from Elium, founded in 2008 near Brussels, Belgium. It organizes scattered organizational know-how into a governed source for employees and AI agents. People can share knowledge through web and mobile access using rich articles, tags, permissions, alerts and an expert directory. AI search and answers are available on every plan, with citations and no usage credits; semantic search is supported. Governance tools assign ownership, manage validation and retirement, and send expiry reminders. Corporate and Enterprise add approval workflows. Elium lists 65 integrations, including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, MCP, ChatGPT, Claude, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Slack, Salesforce, ServiceNow and Zendesk. GraphQL and Search APIs plus MCP connectivity support custom applications and retrieval pipelines. The platform offers Android, iOS, web, API, extension and self-hosted options, with SSO and version history. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification is listed, along with GDPR and SecNumCloud compliance offerings. Default hosting uses Google Cloud’s Belgium region with European redundancy; sovereign French hosting is available through 3DS Outscale. Enterprise can include private-cloud or on-premise deployment.
