Limitations & Considerations
⚠️ NO Built-In RAG – Entire retrieval infrastructure must be built by developers⚠️ Developer-Only – Requires coding expertise; no no-code interface for non-technical teams⚠️ Rate Limits – Usage tiers start restrictive (Tier 1: 500 RPM GPT-4)⚠️ Model Lock-In – Cannot use Claude, Gemini; tied to OpenAI ecosystem⚠️ NO Chat UI – ChatGPT web interface not embeddable or customizable for business⚠️ Cost at Scale – Token pricing can spike without optimization; needs cost management
⚠️ KB accuracy issues – Reviews cite "often inaccurate", not ideal document Q&A
⚠️ Workflow-first platform – Excels orchestration, lags specialized RAG platforms
⚠️ Steep learning curve – Weeks onboarding despite visual interface
⚠️ Pricing complexity – Per-seat/agent fees escalate beyond base costs
⚠️ Visual canvas overwhelm – Complex agents (100+ blocks) difficult to manage
⚠️ SOC 2 Enterprise-only – No SLA guarantees on Pro/Team tiers
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
✅ Assistants API (v2) – Built-in conversation history, persistent threads, tool access management✅ Function Calling – Models invoke external functions/tools; describe structure, receive calls with arguments✅ Parallel Tool Execution – Access Code Interpreter, File Search, custom functions simultaneouslyResponses API (2024) – New primitive with web search, file search, computer use✅ Structured Outputs – strict: true guarantees arguments match JSON Schema for reliable parsing⚠️ Agent Limitations – Less control vs LangChain for complex workflows; simpler assistant paradigm

R A G-as-a- Service Assessment
⚠️ NOT RAG-AS-A-SERVICE – Provides LLM models/APIs, not managed RAG infrastructureDIY RAG Architecture – Embed docs → external vector DB → retrieve → inject into promptFile Search (Beta) – Azure preview includes minimal semantic search; not production RAG⚠️ No Managed Infrastructure – Unlike CustomGPT/Vectara, leaves chunking, indexing, retrieval to developersFramework vs Service – Compare to LLM APIs (Claude, Gemini), not managed RAG platformsExternal Costs – RAG needs vector DBs (Pinecone $70+/month), hosting, embeddings API
Platform Type – WORKFLOW-FIRST with RAG capabilities, NOT pure RAG-as-a-ServiceCore Architecture – Visual canvas (50+ blocks) combining intent-based + RAG hybridRAG Integration – KB with vector search (Qdrant) + GPT-4, secondary to workflowsDeveloper Experience – REST API, JS/Python SDKs, custom code blocks, GraphQL⚠️ RAG Limitations – KB "often inaccurate", no RAG parameter configuration, manual preprocessing
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
