What shapes your choice of AI stack?
An AI stack combines an AI model, the environment it runs in and the tools for access and management. This finder considers four aspects of your organization:
Users
An internal assistant for employees has different requirements for access, support and oversight than a public chatbot for customers or citizens.
Sensitive information
What information could enter a conversation? This helps identify the agreements, access permissions and security measures you need to investigate.
IT management
A managed service may suit a small team. Your own cloud environment requires capacity to configure, monitor and maintain the solution.
Existing platform
Your current Microsoft, Google, AWS or server environment provides a starting point for integrations and management. Check which features and licences you actually have.
How should you use the result?
Use the suggested architecture and alternatives to start a discussion with your team or IT partner. Assess them against a specific task, the quality of your data and the integrations you need. A small practical test helps establish whether the solution works in your workflow.
Costs and timelines are rough indications, not a quote. Actual usage, licences, implementation and management determine the total. Check the current availability of models, hosting regions and security features before making a decision.
