    The three biggest challenges with enterprise AI

    The rise of generative AI has sparked an arms race among major tech companies. But as companies rushed to integrate AI into their workflows, they quickly recognized its limitations—particularly when it came to consistency and quality in business settings and there are three main reasons for this.


    1. The model isn’t designed to answer your questions

    If you’re in the office and have a question, would you ask a random colleague you pass in the hallway? Probably not, because they don’t have specific knowledge on the topic. It’s the same with large language models. They are most likely not trained on all relevant data, especially company-specific intellectual property. This is why the big tech companies host thousands of different AI models. 

    How we’re responding:
    Our AI Assistant is fully customizable to your needs, and is designed to accept your corporate terminology, tone of voice, and other brand guidelines to ensure the output you get is right for you.


    2. You’re not spending enough time asking the right questions

    To continue our analogy, once you meet with the right person, are you asking them for help with a five-word demand? No, you’d spend time giving your request context and providing enough details to warrant an informed and nuanced response. 

    How we’re responding:
    Our solution focuses not just on the output, but the input as well. Templafy has developed a product that can improve the quality and value of prompts by automatically bringing in contextual information and using that to build templates so they can be reused again and again.


    3. If you ask three questions you get four different answers 

    Let’s say now you decide to poll your colleagues to get an answer to your question. You ask 10 people. You get 11 different answers (one person answered twice). In short, consistency in output can be a huge struggle if companies leave prompting and the choice of AI model to individual employees.

    How we’re responding:
    By centralizing and customizing our AI model for each enterprise customer, outputs become much more consistent and high-quality because they’re pulling from a reliable dataset.  

    GenerativeAI comes standard

    Moving forward, all of our customers will have access to our generative AI tools, making it possible for everyone to benefit from the productivity gains of AI from within their existing workflows. This update will automatically roll out to more than 3 million people who are currently using Templafy in the world’s most active workplace application, Microsoft Office.

    Our secure and customizable AI tool comes with a collection of pre-engineered, high-quality prompts to help you create, improve, and edit text based on a contextual understanding of the document you’re building.

    We’ve prepared the top 10 prompts that will help teams the most & enable you to get started

    • Shorten and abbreviate text
    • Rephrase and suggest alternate wording
    • Improve grammar and spelling
    • Elaborate and expand text

    • Create custom prompts
    • Rewrite text to sound more professional or more neutral
    • Suggest titles and headlines
    • Convert text into bullet points

    The addition of generative AI into our core offerings isn’t just a shiny new tool—it’s designed to save you time, increase productivity, and elevate the quality of your business documents and presentations.

    Our platform’s underlying capabilities remain unchanged, but our AI integration enhances the end-user experience by embedding intuitive, time-saving tools directly into the workflow of employees using Microsoft Office applications, while ensuring the company retains full control over AI usage in business documents.

    As Templafy CEO Jesper Theill Eriksen explains,

    “Generative AI is fundamental to the future of work. It allows employees to create impactful business communications efficiently, and we believe that AI should be democratized so that everyone can benefit from these tools without compromising security or data privacy.”
