Managed service – Less control over RAG pipeline vs build-your-ownModel selection – OpenAI + Anthropic only; no Cohere, AI21, open-sourceReal-time data – Requires re-indexing; not ideal for live inventory/pricesEnterprise features – Custom SSO only on Enterprise plan
AI agent transformation – Task-performing AI agents beyond chatbotsZapier AI Actions – Automate workflows mid-conversationIn-chat actions – Check orders, book appointments, send emails95 languages – Automatic language support
⚠️ NO Agent Capabilities – No autonomous agents, tool calling, or multi-agent orchestrationConversational Search Only – Context-aware dialogue for Q&A, not agentic or autonomous behaviorBasic RAG Architecture – Standard retrieval without function calling, tool use, or workflows⚠️ No External Actions – Cannot invoke APIs, execute code, query databases, or interact externallyInternal Knowledge Focus – Employee Q&A about documents, not task automation or workflows

R A G-as-a- Service Assessment
Platform type – Conversational AI with RAG, not pure RAG-as-a-Service✅ Data sources – Website, documents, audio/video, sitemap✅ LLM options – OpenAI, Claude 3, Gemini Pro, Llama 3.1✅ Integration ecosystem – 80+ native, no Zapier dependency⚠️ API-first – Weak: REST API, no SDKs, basic docs⚠️ Compliance – GDPR/CCPA only, NO SOC 2/HIPAA/ISO
⚠️ NOT TRUE RAG-AS-A-SERVICE – Standalone internal app, not API-accessible RAG platformTurnkey Application – Self-contained Q&A tool vs developer-accessible RAG infrastructure⚠️ No API Access – No REST API, SDKs, programmatic access unlike CustomGPT/VectaraClosed Application – Web/desktop interface only, cannot build custom applications on topSaaS vs RaaS – Software-as-a-Service (standalone app) NOT Retrieval-as-a-Service (API infrastructure)Best Comparison Category – Internal search tools (Glean, Guru), not developer RAG platforms
Platform type – TRUE RAG-AS-A-SERVICE with managed infrastructureAPI-first – REST API, Python SDK, OpenAI compatibility, MCP ServerNo-code option – 2-minute wizard deployment for non-developersHybrid positioning – Serves both dev teams (APIs) and business users (no-code)Enterprise ready – SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, WCAG 2.0, flat-rate pricing
Additional Considerations
⚠️ Free plan limits – 100 messages/month for testing only⚠️ Complex flows – Limited multi-step logic capabilities⚠️ Training investment – Requires time for mastery✅ Managed services – Available for large enterprise teams✅ Strategic advantage – Multi-LLM flexibility vs locked competitors
✅ No-Fuss Internal Search – Employees use without coding, simple deployment for teams⚠️ Not Public-Facing – Not ideal for customer chatbots or developer-heavy customizationSiloed Environment – Single AI search environment, not broad extensible platformSimpler Scope – Less flexible than CustomGPT, but faster setup for internal use
Time-to-value – 2-minute deployment vs weeks with DIYAlways current – Auto-updates to latest GPT modelsProven scale – 6,000+ organizations, millions of queriesMulti-LLM – OpenAI + Claude reduces vendor lock-in
Customization & Flexibility ( Behavior & Knowledge)
✅ Visual flow builder – Drag-and-drop conversation design✅ Tone and personality – Configurable via system prompts✅ Multi-language – 95+ languages with automatic translation✅ Knowledge control – Uploaded info, ChatGPT knowledge, live internet✅ Lead qualification – Score and route based on responses
✅ Auto-Sync Updates – Knowledge base updated without manual uploads or scheduling⚠️ No Persona Controls – AI voice stays neutral, no tone or behavior customization✅ Access Controls – Strong role-based permissions, admins set document visibility per userClosed Environment – Great for content updates, limited for AI behavior or deployment
Live content updates – Add/remove content with automatic re-indexingSystem prompts – Shape agent behavior and voice through instructionsMulti-agent support – Different bots for different teamsSmart defaults – No ML expertise required for custom behavior
