AI Platforms for Business, Compared
The three types of AI platform for business, what to look for, and why most companies are best served by a multi-model workspace.
AI platforms for business fall into three types: single-model assistants (ChatGPT, Copilot), enterprise AI clouds (Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI) and multi-model workspaces. For most companies, a multi-model workspace gives the widest coverage for the lowest overhead. Krater.ai is a multi-model AI platform with 350+ models for chat, research, image, video and voice on one subscription, with EU data residency and a GDPR-ready DPA.
What is an AI platform for business?
An AI platform for business is the software layer your company uses to put AI in front of teams: the models, the interface, the admin controls and the data handling. The right platform depends on who will use it, what they need to make and how sensitive your data is.
The three types of AI platform
Single-model assistants
Products like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and Claude are polished and easy to adopt, but they are built mainly on one provider's models. They are great as a personal assistant; they are narrower when different teams need different models and formats.
Enterprise AI clouds
Azure OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock and Google Vertex AI give engineering teams raw model access to build their own applications. They are powerful and flexible, but they are developer platforms, not a ready-to-use workspace for a marketing or sales team.
Multi-model workspaces
A multi-model workspace puts many models behind one interface with one subscription and one admin view. This is usually the best fit for a whole company, because it covers chat, research, image, video and voice without a separate contract per tool.
What to look for in an AI platform
- Model choice. Can teams pick the right model for the task, or are they locked to one provider?
- Coverage. Does it handle text, image, video and voice, or just chat?
- Administration. One bill, one credit pool and a clear view of usage across teams.
- Data protection. EU data residency, a DPA, and no training on your data.
- Adoption. Simple enough for people who feel behind on AI, not just engineers.
