Why Organizations Struggle with AI Implementation

• Cost Prohibition: Commercial AI APIs can cost thousands monthly for even moderate usage
• Data Privacy Concerns: Sending sensitive information to third-party services creates compliance risks
• Limited Control: Proprietary solutions restrict customization and adaptation
• Technical Complexity: Traditional LLM deployment requires specialized expertise
• Scalability Issues: External API rate limits constrain growth potential

For customer support alone, companies report spending 60-80% more on commercial AI services than budgeted, while still facing limitations on throughput and customization. Meanwhile, open-source models have reached near-parity with commercial offerings for many business applications, creating a compelling alternative that this workflow fully leverages.
