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.

Easy to use and good for disaster recovery planning
I use the tool for real-time data synchronization. Replicate is a beneficial tool for disaster recovery planning. The use cases attached to Replicate are very direct. I have used other products in the past, but they are not as efficient as Replicate. I feel Replicate is easier to use than other tools. Replicate has impacted our company's data integration processes by twenty to thirty percent. Overall, the product is easy to use. The product was also easy to configure. I recommend the product to others who plan to use it for real-time data integration. The product has been integrated into our company's existing infrastructure. I haven't done the integrations but I know that it was performed by someone else. I rate the tool an eight and a half out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable feature of Azure OpenAI stems from the GPT-3.5 models it provides to its users."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty easy."
"Its ability to understand and respond well to queries, including language translation for clients, is beneficial."
"OpenAI's models are more mature than Watson's. They offer a wider range of features and provide richer outputs."
"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."
"Generative AI or GenAI seems to be the best part of the solution."
"GPT was useful for our projects."
"Replicate is a beneficial tool for disaster recovery planning."
 

Cons

"One major drawback of Azure OpenAI is its availability, as it's not consistently accessible for effective use."
"The fine-tuning of models with the use of Azure OpenAI is an area with certain shortcomings currently, and it can be considered for improvement in the future."
"Our customers are worried about data management, ethical, and security issues."
"The solution needs to accommodate smaller companies."
"Since we don't train the model on our data, it's a struggle to ensure OpenAI answers questions exclusively from our data. During user testing, we found ways to make the system provide answers from outside sources."
"I have found the tool unreliable in certain use cases. I aim to enhance the system's latency, particularly in responding to calls. Occasionally, calls don't respond, so I want to improve reliability."
"Maybe with the next release, the response will be more precise and more human-like."
"The solution's response is a bit slow sometimes."
"I feel that the marketing activities of the product are an area of concern...Replicate is a very beneficial tool that should be marketed well enough in a good way."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform offers a flexible pricing model which depends on the features and capabilities we utilize."
"The solution's pricing depends on the services you will deploy."
"The tool costs around 20 dollars a month."
"It's a token-based system, so you pay per token used by the model."
"The cost is quite high and fixed."
"Regarding pricing and licensing, it's a bit complex due to the minimum purchase requirement for PTO units. We're evaluating the best approach between PTE and pay-as-you-go models. Our organization is cautious about committing to PTE due to the fixed bandwidth reservation, while pay-as-you-go doesn't offer enough flexibility. We're discussing these matters with legal teams to ensure compliance and data security."
"Cost-wise, the product's price is a bit on the higher side."
"According to the negotiations taking place and the contract, there is a need to make either monthly or yearly payments to use the solution."
