Common questions

What is the best AI platform for enterprises?

Quick answer

It depends on the job. For a company-wide assistant inside your existing tools, Microsoft 365 Copilot leads if you are on Microsoft 365, while Glean is the strongest cross-app enterprise search and assistant. To build and deploy your own AI, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI and Azure AI Foundry are the leading model platforms. For governance and agents, Writer, Dataiku and Salesforce Agentforce stand out.

What does enterprise AI actually cost?

Quick answer

Company-wide assistants are usually around $30 per user per month — Microsoft 365 Copilot is $30, ChatGPT Enterprise is typically $45-75 with a seat minimum, and Glean runs roughly $40-50 plus an AI add-on. Model platforms like AWS Bedrock and Google Vertex AI are usage-based (you pay per token or per API call) with no per-seat fee, so cost scales with consumption rather than headcount.

Should we buy an AI assistant or build on a model platform?

Quick answer

Buy an assistant (Copilot, Glean, ChatGPT Enterprise, Claude Enterprise) when you want employees productive fast inside email, docs and chat. Build on a platform (Bedrock, Vertex AI, Azure AI Foundry, Databricks) when you need custom AI in your own products, full data control, or model choice. Many enterprises do both — assistants for staff, platforms for product.
