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

"The product saves a lot of time."
"Azure OpenAI is very easy to use instead of AWS services."
"I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"It is easy to integrate and develop a solution. Most customers are concerned about the security of their data and how cost-effective it is. We have developed some methodologies so that our customers will not be charged too much for these OpenAI services but will still get the same kind of performance and results. It's all developed on Azure, so customers also see its benefit."
"The high precision of information extraction is the most valuable feature."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty easy."
"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."
"Two aspects I appreciate are the turnaround time and ease of use. As it's a managed service, the quick turnaround is beneficial, and the simple interface makes it easy to work with. Performance and scalability are also strong points since you can scale as needed."
"Replicate is a beneficial tool for disaster recovery planning."
 

Cons

"There are no available updates of information that are currently provided."
"One major drawback of Azure OpenAI is its availability, as it's not consistently accessible for effective use."
"One area for improvement is providing more flexibility in configuration and connectivity with external tools."
"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."
"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."
"Maybe with the next release, the response will be more precise and more human-like."
"The UI could be a little easier."
"Azure OpenAI will be expensive if you want to implement it as a permanent solution for a customer."
"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

"If you consider the long-term aspect of any project, Azure OpenAI is a costly solution."
"It's a token-based system, so you pay per token used by the model."
"The platform offers a flexible pricing model which depends on the features and capabilities we utilize."
"The pricing is acceptable, and it's delivering good value for the results and outcomes we need."
"According to the negotiations taking place and the contract, there is a need to make either monthly or yearly payments to use the solution."
"The cost is quite high and fixed."
"I rate the product pricing six out of ten."
"The cost is pretty high. Even by US standards, you would find it high."
