From General-Purpose LLMs to Verticalized Enterprise Models

An Extremely Simple Approach to Domain Adaptation for Enterprise GenAI Use

Verticalization is a necessary step for deploying AI in the enterprise. But what does verticalizing a model mean, anyway? In practical terms, this means that when we ask the AI model, for example, “what’s needed to open an account?”, if the model is for the Banking domain it will know that the user is referring to a bank account (savings, current account…) and not an e-commerce account. In technical terms: the model knows how to disambiguate between the different meanings of a word depending on the vertical/domain. Verticalizing covers means more things (for example, the model will speak in the tone and style typical for that industry: polite, verbose…), but we will not focus on those here.

So far, there are two approaches to this:

We propose the use of a faster and more effective approach to using general-purpose GenAI for any domain at the enterprise level. The approach decomposes the problem into two steps:

What are the advantages? This two-step approach reduces needs on all fronts:

The time & resource savings come from the fact that vertical models can be pre-built (as we do in Bitext) and the task can focus only on Step 2. Bitext bases its pre-built models on proprietary Natural Language Generation technology, free of the typical issues with Generative AI and generating training data: hallucinations, PII, bias…
