AppDirect AI empowers users to easily transform AI app ideas
into reality without needing any coding skills, while also giving
them the freedom to choose the most suitable large language model
(LLM) provider for their business needs.
“From fostering seamless collaboration between teams to ensuring
enterprise-grade privacy and security for every user and the
ability to get an AI app up and running in minutes, AppDirect AI is
designed to be the all-in-one AI solution businesses need,” said
Peush Patel, VP of Product Management at AppDirect. “We're
democratizing the AI space. What differentiates AppDirect from
other solutions is our agnostic approach. Our platform is built as
an abstraction layer that ensures your AI solutions can quickly
adapt to any underlying technology. Users should be able to control
all aspects of the AI app they create – including the LLM model or
data sources to augment their AI’s knowledge – without having to
know or use code.”
AppDirect AI arrives as more companies seek to leverage AI
solutions but are running into barriers, including data privacy
concerns, limitations on customizations, and a widening AI skills
gap. And organizations are turning to experts for advice. “This new
AI offering from AppDirect is a game changer in the channel,” said
Nicolas Desmarais, Chairman and CEO at AppDirect. “With our
community of over 10,000 technology advisors, our development
priority has been to equip them with to resell AI and accelerate
their ability to capture new opportunities and drive long term
value for their customers.”
To further close this skills gap, AppDirect AI has partnered
with IVADO Labs, one of the top AI labs globally, which provides
world-class expertise and professional services for enterprise
customers looking for an AI solution that addresses their specific
challenges. Located in the heart of Quebec’s AI ecosystem, IVADO
Labs brings together world-class scientists and AI practitioners to
help enterprises build production-grade AI assets and develop AI
capabilities that make an impact. Through this partnership,
organizations can get the AI support they need, whether that's
customizing their AI configuration and managing complex
integrations, or more advanced projects such as private LLM
deployment and fine-tuning to meet precise requirements.
"At IVADO Labs, our team of world-class applied scientists, AI
developers, and business strategists work together to transform
industries through AI," said Andrea Lodi, Founder and Scientific
Director of IVADO Labs. "AppDirect AI launching in partnership with
IVADO Labs is expected to help organizations build AI for the real
world, turning challenges into huge opportunities through custom AI
solutions.”
Unlike other solutions on the market, AppDirect AI lets users
build their AI apps using the LLM that best suits their app’s
purpose, such as OpenAI (GPT 3.5/4/Turbo, Anthropic (Claude 2.1/3),
Cohere (Command), and Meta (Llama).
AppDirect AI gives users flexibility in how they augment the AI
with their data and update their AIs seamlessly. App creators can
load their app with data from a wide variety of sources—files,
workspaces, drives, or websites—and control how frequently data is
updated to ensure their AI is always current.
