Kortical is an end to end AI as a Service (AIaaS) platform designed to accelerate the creation, iteration, explanation and deployment of world-class machine learning models. The vendor describes the key benefits of Kortical is AutoML that writes custom machine learning solutions from the ground up in code. Getting hands-on with the code is optional but being able to edit code it makes it easy to get the best of data scientists and AutoML, while also getting the benefits of full…N/A

If you're looking for a managed OpenAI API service, then Azure OpenAI Service is a good choice.
It's fully compatible with OpenAI API, has lots of models to choose from, lots of parameters to configure to suite your needs.
The documents are well maintained, with examples to get started.
You can also setup firewall to restrict access to the API to certain IP addresses, like those of your VPCs.

Kortical is really widely applicable to many use cases, although it doesn't handle images or video it is great to help you build really great ML models without needing to plan ahead what you are going to try, you let the platform build you the best model. It is suited to beginner and more advanced data scientists as you can edit the code to narrow the search space which makes model creation more you build it without AutoML. Hosting the model behind an API that is ready to go is great as it saves so much time vs doing that dev work from scratch

Kortical
  • The NLP models results were much better than the ones that we did outside of the platform.
  • It is really easy and quick to build a good model with a lot of the manual boring tasks all done automatically like one hot encoding, etc.
  • Kortical shows the features and their importance for any model type as part of the platform which is great for understanding the models.

Cons
Microsoft
  • The user interface is similar to the Azure, so it's bit laggy, they should improve it.
  • The chat models sometimes return nothing, I guess they are still testing them.
  • The models we use have quota limitation on tokens and number of requests.

  • It would be ideal to have Jupyter built into the platform, they say it is coming.
  • Also while it is easy to use, at the start it would have been helpful to have more help guides.

I think it's a good product and appreciate the addition secure guard rails that running it in Azure provide. However, I still struggle at times to get to the right resources for support and region-based capacity can also be a challenge.

Their support is great as we use Slack and we have our own channel and they always respond really quickly. Data Science support is available to help unblock you as well as dev support as we're setting up the data feeds. It would be great if there were more FAQ or self-help guides in the platform but the personal touch is also really appreciated and probably gets us there quicker anyway.

1. Open AI is best at giving accurate answers. 2. It is secure and more trustworthy 3. Most of our client using Azure cloud so it becomes go to choice for them. 4. Scalable as it handles 1000s of request per minute. 5. SDKs are easy to use and well documented.

Return on Investment
Microsoft
  • Our test group of 100 people created more than 200 conversations within the first day
  • People were excited & asked to be included to the test group once words spread that we have an internal ChatGPT portal
  • People started to create & share their own assistants (prompt engineering) for various purposes like code review, marketing, email, etc.

  • ROI is great as what we would spend on compute we get the AutoML for essentially the same price so it is cost neutral as Kortical comes with compute built-in.
  • The results mean that we can automate so much more than our previous model so that is key to the positive ROI.
  • The platform auto trains new models and lets us know when there is a better model so it has saved a lot of time so we can focus on new business problems to solve with ML.

Screenshot of Lab Screen is the main screen where you upload your data, select the target column and then hit start training for the AutoML to turn your data into machine learning data,  automatically build features and then generate the code on the screen (which you can edit if you wish) and leave it to train to find you the best model based on your data.Screenshot of The graphs show you how many iterations Kortical has gone through to find you the best model.Screenshot of You can explore any model in more detail.Screenshot of You get high level explanations for each modelScreenshot of Also row by row explanations - here is a passenger that is highly likely to survive the titanic, due to being female, first class cabinet and high fare but her age at 35 was counting against her surviving a little and you can get these for every row and future prediction.
