Sberbank integrates GigaChat Enterprise with 1C and Bitrix

Sberbank is seeking partners to create connectors that will integrate its corporate platform GigaChat Enterprise with 1C and Bitrix. This means that companies will be able to use AI directly within their familiar systems without requiring integration work.

Why This Matters 1C and Bitrix are installed on millions of workplaces across Russia.

If Sberbank embeds GigaChat Enterprise directly into them, tens of thousands of companies — from retail to manufacturing — will have access to enterprise AI. Currently, developers are required to connect AI. Connectors will make this as simple as installing a plugin.

Joint

Model Development The second part of the initiative is to offer companies from different industries to jointly develop highly specialized models. For example, banks will create their own version of AI for risk analysis, medical clinics for image processing, and logistics for route optimization.

• Models are trained on real data from each industry Development is carried out collaboratively — costs are shared across multiple parties The result remains within Sberbank's ecosystem and GigaChat ## Competition for Integration Integration openness is a standard in the global AI market. OpenAI embeds ChatGPT in Excel, Slack, Gmail. Microsoft does the same with Copilot. Sberbank needs to move in the same direction if it wants to be competitive in the enterprise market.

"Connectors" are not a new product, they are an expansion of GigaChat Enterprise into already-operating systems.

Without integrations, AI remains in a separate browser tab. With them, it becomes a tool for everyday work.

What

This Means This is a signal that Sberbank takes its position in the AI war seriously and is ready to build an ecosystem, rather than simply release another chatbot. If connectors appear quickly, Russian companies will gain a competitive advantage over those waiting for OpenAI integration into 1C.
