Enterprises need to choose when to adopt third-party models, open source tools or build custom, in-house fine-tuned models for AI Systems.
Organizations that attempt to build agents on their own often struggle with retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and vector databases.
RAG systems take 6-8 weeks to build and optimize, and developers require an understanding of data availability and quality.
It's important to factor in existing licenses and subscriptions while looking at options for deploying AI agents third party, open-source or custom.
When developing an enterprise AI strategy, it is important to take a cross-functional approach.
Successful organizations involve several departments in this process, including business leadership, software development and data science teams, user experience managers and others.
Organizations that attempt to build AI agents in-house may face difficulties that lead to failure.
Enterprises must factor ongoing, post-deployment needs into their AI strategies from the very beginning.
Third-party providers will likely have the bandwidth to keep up with the latest technologies and architecture to build this.
All of these systems require some type of post-launch maintenance and support, ongoing tweaking and adjustment to keep them accurate and make them more accurate over time.
