ChannelLife Australia covered the launch of Opti Assist Free, ORCA Opti's no-cost AI governance assistant for Australian organisations in regulated sectors. For the channel audience, the piece flags a clean conversation-starter: a free, sovereign AI tool that resellers, MSPs and consultants can put in front of their healthcare, financial services, government supply, defence and research clients, with a structured upgrade path into the wider ORCA Opti governance, risk and compliance stack.

The article positions Opti Assist Free as the practical first step that closes what ORCA Opti calls the visibility gap: where employee data goes when staff use AI, what's being shared, and whether organisations can prove they're meeting their obligations.

"Banning ChatGPT did not work for Samsung, JPMorgan or Apple, and it will not work for an Australian council, hospital or defence supplier either. The lesson was never 'ban AI'. The lesson was 'ungoverned AI is the risk.'"

Kathryn Giudes, Founder & Managing Director, ORCA Opti
