- What does an AI engineering engagement deliver?
- A working system, not only a strategy deck. Depending on the use case, that can include ingestion and retrieval pipelines, a vector or hybrid search layer, model and tool connections, agent orchestration, Salesforce integration, evaluation suites, monitoring, security controls, deployment, and documentation.
- What is RAG, and when is it useful?
- Retrieval-augmented generation finds relevant information from approved sources and gives that context to the model before it answers. It is useful when responses must reflect current company knowledge, customer history, policies, product documentation, or other information the base model does not reliably know.
- Can a RAG system use Salesforce data and permissions?
- Yes. The design can retrieve live Salesforce context at request time, index approved content outside Salesforce, or combine both. We define identity, sharing, field-level access, source permissions, and sensitive-data handling as part of the retrieval architecture.
- Do you build custom chatbots and conversational applications?
- Yes. GAT builds customer and employee chatbots, sales and service assistants, and authenticated conversations such as patient-to-nurse chat. The system can use Salesforce context, route to the right team, preserve conversation history, invoke approved tools, and hand off to a person. In clinical settings, AI supports routing and communication; it does not replace clinical judgment.
- Which models, vector databases, and frameworks do you use?
- The choice follows the workload, security constraints, existing cloud, latency, cost, and the level of operational control your team needs. GAT can work across Claude, OpenAI models, Agentforce, MCP, managed retrieval services, vector databases, and custom orchestration without forcing the use case into one vendor's stack.
- How do you know the AI system is accurate enough to launch?
- We define representative questions, expected sources, acceptable answers, failure cases, and tool outcomes before launch. Retrieval and response quality are evaluated separately, consequential actions stay reviewable, and production monitoring tracks the cases the system does not handle well.
- When should we use ApexGenius instead of a custom AI build?
- Use ApexGenius when the core need is a hosted, flat-subscription connector that gives Claude or ChatGPT governed access to Salesforce records and metadata. Choose an AI engineering project when you need custom knowledge ingestion, RAG, cross-system orchestration, specialized tools, evaluations, or a user experience built around your workflow. Current product pricing lives on the ApexGenius site.
