What We Do

OpenAI consulting and integration, from the first use case to a governed production application.

Our OpenAI consultants go well beyond plugging in an API key. We design and build OpenAI integration into your existing systems, connected to your real data and governed by your rules. The team works across C#, .NET, Python and the Power Platform, with data engineering underneath, so the AI has clean, current information to work from.

Most clients come to us with a clear task in mind: a document processor, an AI chatbot for internal support, plain-language questions over reporting data, or a fully custom AI application. We test the idea on your own data first, then take ownership from design through production deployment and support. Our guide to OpenAI for enterprise use cases covers common starting points.

We match the model to the task, your data and your security needs. That may be the OpenAI API, Azure OpenAI Service inside your own Azure environment, or another model such as Claude. For governed deployments, read our guide to building AI chatbots with Azure OpenAI.

Our Approach

  • Over 1 to 2 weeks we review your workflows, systems, data sources and pain points to find where OpenAI integration adds the most value. We document requirements, data availability, security constraints and integration points, then agree on the scope and order of work before any development begins.

  • We design the integration architecture, covering how the model connects to your data, the prompt strategy, the security model and the application structure. For Azure OpenAI Service deployments we also design network configuration, access controls and compliance requirements, so the solution meets your governance standards from the start.

  • We write and test system instructions, prompts, context rules and output formats until the model responds accurately and consistently within your business rules. For RAG projects we build the retrieval pipeline and vector store, then check results against your actual documents and data sources, not sample content.

  • We build the AI components into your existing systems using C#, .NET, Python or the Power Platform, depending on your environment. Connections to data sources, document repositories and downstream systems include error handling, retry logic and logging. A first production release usually takes about 6 to 12 weeks, depending on scope.

  • We test response accuracy, integration reliability, security controls and the user experience before launch. Administrators and end users are trained to work with AI-generated output and to know when to check it. Go-live happens with monitoring in place and a clear plan for any issues that appear in production.

  • We hand over documentation covering the integration architecture, prompt designs, API configuration, security settings and maintenance procedures. Your team can then manage, extend and adjust the application as models and requirements change. If you prefer, we stay on to monitor, tune prompts, update model versions and add features.

OpenAI Integration Success Stories

Artificial Intelligence

E-commerce companies are constantly seeking innovative ways to drive revenue growth. One of the most common ways to do this is by running marketing campaigns. However, determining which customers to target with campaigns is often time consuming, manual, and based on messy data.

E-Commerce

Annmarie Skin Care’s challenge is common and is experienced by e-commerce shops across the spectrum: while relying on 3rd party applications provides quick access to the functionality necessary to run its shop, it creates scattered environments of data that make it difficult to gather meaningful insights.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • An OpenAI consultant helps you decide where GPT models are worth using, then designs and builds the integration. That includes choosing between the OpenAI API and Azure OpenAI Service, connecting the model to your data, writing and testing prompts, setting security controls and putting the result into production. At Alphabyte the same team also builds the data pipelines and applications around the model, so it works with the systems you already run.

  • OpenAI integration means connecting GPT models to your own software, data and workflows instead of using ChatGPT on its own. Your applications call the model through an API, so it can summarize a document, draft an email, classify a request or answer a question using your information. Done well, it follows your business rules, respects user permissions and keeps a log of what it does.

  • You likely need help when a promising ChatGPT experiment has to become something your organization relies on. Common signs are sensitive data that cannot leave your environment, answers that must come from your own documents, outputs that feed other systems, or a pilot that worked in a demo but not with real users. A consultant brings the architecture, security and testing that production use needs.

  • Cost depends on the number of use cases, how many systems the AI connects to, how ready your documents and data are, and your security and compliance requirements. Model usage is billed separately by OpenAI or Microsoft, based on how much the application is used. We start with a short discovery, then scope the first release with you before any build begins, so you know what you are committing to.

  • Both give you access to GPT models. The OpenAI API is quick to start with and suits many applications. Azure OpenAI Service runs the models inside your Azure environment, with private networking, data residency controls, role-based access and audit logging, which often matters for larger or regulated organizations. If your data and security controls already sit in Azure, Azure OpenAI is usually the better fit. We help you decide based on your requirements.

  • No. We also work with other models such as Claude, which is a strong choice for careful reasoning over long documents, and we recommend a model based on the task, your data and your security needs. Many solutions are designed so the model can be changed later without rebuilding the application around it.

  • RAG is a way to make a language model answer from your own information. When a user asks a question, the system first searches your knowledge bases, documents or databases for relevant content, then passes it to the model along with the question. The answer is grounded in your material rather than general training data, and it can point to the sources it used, which makes it easier to check.

  • Yes, with the right design. We control which documents and data the AI can reach, apply your existing user permissions so people only get answers from content they are allowed to see, and log activity for audit. For organizations with stricter requirements, Azure OpenAI Service keeps processing inside your Azure environment. Our team includes CISSP and CCSP certified members who review security controls as part of the design.

  • Discovery usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. A first production release, such as a document processor or an internal assistant, usually takes about 6 to 12 weeks after that, depending on the number of systems involved, how ready your data is and how much testing your use case needs. We build in phases, so one use case is live and in use before the next one starts.

  • Yes, and that is how most OpenAI projects start. We add language capabilities such as summaries, classification, drafting and question answering to applications built in C#, .NET, Python or the Power Platform, and to workflows in Power Automate. Your people keep the tools they know, and the AI does the language work inside them rather than in a separate window.
