Created a chatbot powered by OpenAI to answer HR, travel, and expense-related questions
We have created our own platform called CanvasAI. It provides machine-learning plumbing and integration with your services. So, we've integrated Azure OpenAI through Canvas. We're also looking at some hard interface modeling from AWS as well. We access Azure OpenAI solutions for our business workflow via the platform, not directly from the service provider. There are security considerations we're working through with the security team, etc. Canvas provides the control plane, which handles RBAC for user registration and model management. For internal processes, we're using OpenAI to create partner call reports, like summarizing quarterly zip code data and other financial models. We also use it for legal and contract stuff, like comparing SOWs and contracts. For user experience, we've created a chatbot powered by OpenAI to answer HR, travel, and expense-related questions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Generative AI or GenAI seems to be the best part of the solution."
"The document intelligence feature has significantly aided in our operations, facilitating the creation of descriptive content."
"The high precision of information extraction is the most valuable feature."
"OpenAI's models are more mature than Watson's. They offer a wider range of features and provide richer outputs."
"Azure OpenAI has significantly reduced costs and increased efficiency in tasks such as aggressive testing of systems to avoid anomalies and trust issues."
"The most crucial aspect is the conversational capability, where you can simply ask questions, and it provides answers based on your content and documents, particularly tailored to your specific environment."
"We have many use cases for the solution, such as digitalizing records, a chatbot looking at records, and being able to use generative AI on them."

Cons

"Our customers are worried about data management, ethical, and security issues."
"There could be an ability to generate visual data, such as architecture diagrams."
"In the next release, they could enhance the product's features for even greater usability and efficiency."
"There is room for improvement in their support services."
"There are certain shortcomings with the product's scalability and support team where improvements are required."
"Azure OpenAI should use more specific sources like academic articles because sometimes the source can't be found."
"One area for improvement is providing more flexibility in configuration and connectivity with external tools."
"Azure OpenAI will be expensive if you want to implement it as a permanent solution for a customer."
"When using the API, it does not return information about the charges for image generation, which would be useful for our solution."
