At Marketing In Asia (M.I.A), we take pride in bringing you insights from some of the most innovative companies reshaping industries. Today, we dive deep into the world of AI, talking to the experts at WIZ.AI, a company setting the pace for others in AI innovation. They graciously shared insights about their process, impact, and future plans in a series of responses gathered personally by the M.I.A team.
Creating Domain-Specific LLMs for Businesses: The Process
WIZ.AI shared a comprehensive process that ensures accuracy and relevance when creating domain-specific LLMs for businesses. Imagine embarking on a thrilling journey to create a domain-specific enterprise Large Language Model (LLM) for businesses. It’s an intricate process that demands utmost precision and relevance in gathering information. Let me take you through the steps involved:
- Data Collection and Curation. Picture this: we dive into a treasure trove of data from diverse sources. We delve into company documents, industry-specific literature, and relevant online resources. But we don’t stop there! We also rely on our clients’ expertise. They generously contribute their internal knowledge bases, FAQs, and other valuable materials. All this data becomes the training set for the LLM. Of course, we carefully curate the dataset to ensure it captures a wide range of scenarios and language usage.
- Model Training. Hold on tight as we venture into the realm of model training! We employ state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms to train the enterprise LLM. We feed the curated dataset into the LLM and tweak its parameters to optimize performance. This process might involve multiple rounds of training and testing until we achieve the desired level of accuracy and precision. It’s like sculpting a masterpiece, refining the model with each iteration.
- Evaluation and Validation. Now, let’s put our creation to the test! We evaluate the LLM’s performance in generating accurate and relevant content. Two tests take place: one within our WIZ team and another with the client. These tests allow us to assess the accuracy and relevance of the AI bot’s responses to specific use cases. It’s a rigorous evaluation that ensures our enterprise LLM flawlessly reflects the unique language and concepts of the domain and company.
- Continuous Learning and Updates. Just like businesses and industries are constantly evolving, our journey doesn’t end with the initial creation. We understand the importance of staying up-to-date. So, we regularly update the LLM with fresh information, ensuring it remains accurate and relevant. We retrain the model, equipping it to adapt to any changes in the domain. It’s a continuous learning process, keeping our LLM at the forefront of knowledge.
Integration with Existing Business Processes and Workflows
At WIZ.AI, our enterprise LLM takes AI solutions to a whole new level by seamlessly integrating with existing business processes and workflows. Let me share with you some of the key ways that set us apart:
- Extensive System Integration. We pride ourselves on the ability of WIZ.AI solutions to integrate with a wide range of systems. Imagine connecting our AI to your CRM platforms like Salesforce and Hubspot, as well as leveraging Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) like Genesys and Twilio. That’s not all! Our AI Talkbots are designed to seamlessly integrate with industry-specific systems, such as debt management and collection software. This extensive integration enhances the applicability of our solutions to various business processes.
- Standard Response & Action Framework. When it comes to delivering responses, our enterprise LLM operates under a standard framework. This means that regardless of where the request for information originated, all data is routed in a specific way. The LLM understands and provides correct responses based on the latest data and status from existing business processes and workflows. It’s a streamlined approach that ensures accuracy and consistency.
- Seamless Multi-Channel Integration.. We live in a world of multiple communication channels, and our AI solution effortlessly integrates with them all. Whether it’s telephony, SMS, email, or messaging apps like WhatsApp, our AI can engage with customers across various platforms. This multi-channel integration empowers businesses to deliver a truly omnichannel experience, meeting customers where they are and enhancing engagement.
- Flexible Deployment. Flexibility is the name of the game with WIZ.AI’s enterprise LLM. Our solution is cloud agnostic, meaning it can seamlessly work across different cloud platforms or on-premises installations. This flexibility allows businesses to incorporate our AI solution into their existing infrastructure without extensive modifications. It’s a hassle-free way to harness the power of AI.
- Human-AI Collaboration. At WIZ.AI, we believe in the power of collaboration between AI and human experts. Our LLM promotes this collaboration by allowing AI Talkbots to handle routine tasks while intelligently routing high-value interactions to human agents when needed. This approach optimises the use of human resources and ensures an enhanced customer experience. It’s the perfect blend of technology and human expertise.
Impacting Industries: Healthcare, Finance, and More
WIZ.AI’s enterprise LLM has a profound impact on industries like FMCG by automating customer engagements and streamlining business processes. A recent example involves an ASEAN FMCG company that streamlined order management with WIZ.AI-powered Talkbots, improving inventory management, speeding up order fulfilment, and gaining deeper insights into consumer preferences and market trends.
AI Transforming Southeast Asian Industries
AI is like a whirlwind of transformation sweeping through industries, revolutionising efficiency and productivity. We’re witnessing its incredible impact on businesses in Southeast Asia, where it’s automating mundane tasks and processes. Take our Talkbots, for example, they’re already streamlining operations such as debt collection and payment reminders.
But we didn’t stop there. At WIZ.AI, we’ve taken a leap forward by unleashing the power of generative AI. Enter TalkGPT and enterprise LLMs – game-changers in their own right. TalkGPT combines the might of generative AI and our local language LLM to empower businesses to launch customer engagement campaigns with lightning speed. With just a few clicks, clients input their company profile, objectives, and target market, and voila! TalkGPT generates a highly customised omnichannel campaign, complete with scripts and messages. Our clients can easily review the AI-generated text, choose the most suitable option (including local language versions), and even customise it further if needed. It’s like having an AI-powered campaign wizard at your fingertips!

AI is also reshaping the landscape of business decision-making. Thanks to WIZ.AI’s enterprise LLM, natural language processing and machine learning algorithms work their magic to analyse local languages and provide invaluable insights and recommendations. These domain- or company-specific LLMs are capable of identifying industry jargon and even brand-specific details, resulting in insights that are incredibly powerful and tailor-made for businesses.
Looking into the future, I envision AI playing a pivotal role in increasing accessibility. Our localised Talkbots are already breaking barriers and bringing AI automation to markets where major AI providers haven’t ventured yet. These Talkbots add a human touch by speaking in local languages and accents while automating customer outreach. It’s a remarkable blend of technology and cultural understanding.
In this era of hyper-personalisation, AI can be your personal genie, catering to your specific needs. By tapping into customer histories, AI assistants and bots can provide personalised recommendations and suggestions based on individual preferences.
