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

"GPT was useful for our projects."
"The document intelligence feature has significantly aided in our operations, facilitating the creation of descriptive content."
"The AI search functionality is particularly effective, as it creates summaries from data."
"Our clients are interested in building knowledge bases, particularly in child welfare. In this domain, we focus on supporting caseworkers by compiling and organizing relevant information. This information is then stored in a database using a query. The database generates summaries and reminders for specific actions and even facilitates sending emails to parents or other relevant parties. The system's complexity is tailored to the specific needs of child welfare cases. Additionally, we're exploring opportunities to assist a healthcare organization. Specifically, we're working on streamlining the process of filling out forms required for insurance claims. This effort aims to ensure that hospitals can receive funding or payment for the care they provide."
"OpenAI integrates seamlessly with the broader Microsoft Azure ecosystem, and that provides synergies with the other solutions. This integration makes it much easier to build solutions."
"Azure OpenAI is useful for benchmarking products."
"Its ability to understand and respond well to queries, including language translation for clients, is beneficial."
"It's very powerful. It allows users to query our documents using natural language and receive answers in the same way. This makes our product information much more accessible than traditional keyword-based search."
"Fireworks AI has a solid API and is quite easy to interact with."
 

Cons

"There are no available updates of information that are currently provided."
"Azure OpenAI is not available in all regions, and its technical support should be improved."
"The solution's response is a bit slow sometimes."
"Azure OpenAI should use more specific sources like academic articles because sometimes the source can't be found."
"Maybe with the next release, the response will be more precise and more human-like."
"Our customers are worried about data management, ethical, and security issues."
"The product must improve its dashboards."
"Azure needs to work on its own model development and improve the integration of voice-to-text services, particularly for right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Urdu."
"When using the API, it does not return information about the charges for image generation, which would be useful for our solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a token-based system, so you pay per token used by the model."
"The solution's pricing is normal worldwide but expensive in Turkey because Turkey's currency is different."
"The licensing is interaction-based, meaning transactional. It's reasonably priced for now."
"We started with monthly payments, but we plan to switch to yearly billing once we've stabilized our solution."
"According to the negotiations taking place and the contract, there is a need to make either monthly or yearly payments to use the solution."
"While the product meets our business requirements well, I consider it relatively expensive, especially for individual users like myself."
"The cost is pretty high. Even by US standards, you would find it high."
"The platform offers a flexible pricing model which depends on the features and capabilities we utilize."
