  • Data Privacy Concerns: There’s a pervasive apprehension about exposing business-critical data to external APIs.

Recognizing this gap, they are building AI solutions that are not only tailored to enterprises' unique needs but also empower them with a high degree of control and ownership over their data and processes.
