Quick summary
Enterprises are rapidly shifting from public chat APIs to private, company-controlled language models combined with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Instead of sending sensitive documents to a third-party API, businesses keep embeddings and vector databases on-prem or in a vetted cloud, and run LLMs (including compact on-device models) against that indexed knowledge. The result: faster responses, predictable costs, and tighter data controls — all crucial for customer support, sales enablement, regulatory reports, and internal automation.
Why this matters to business leaders
– Privacy & compliance: Sensitive data stays inside your environment, reducing legal and audit risk.
– Speed & UX: Local or finely tuned models cut latency, improving user experience for reps and customers.
– Cost control: Running smaller or dedicated models for routine tasks lowers per-query costs vs. large public APIs.
– Better relevance: RAG delivers answers grounded in your documents, improving accuracy for domain-specific queries.
– Competitive edge: Teams that turn internal content into searchable, actionable AI win time back for strategic work.
Real-world use cases
– Sales enablement: Instant, up-to-date briefings from CRM, contract terms, and product docs.
– Customer service: Accurate, context-aware responses pulled from knowledge bases and past tickets.
– Finance & ops: Automated report drafts and reconciliations using internal spreadsheets and policies.
– HR & legal: Secure Q&A on policies without exposing documents to external services.
