FrequentlyAskedQuestions
Find answers to common questions about our AI automation services, data privacy, and implementation process.
General AI Questions
What is an autonomous AI agent?
An autonomous AI agent is a software program powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) that can perceive its environment, make decisions, and take actions to achieve a specific goal without constant human intervention. We build these to handle your customer support, internal data retrieval, and workflow execution.
What AI services does Appsphero offer?
We specialize in Custom AI Agent & Copilot Development, LLM Integration & Fine-Tuning, Predictive Analytics, AI-Augmented Web Platforms, and No-Code Workflow Automation.
Will AI replace my employees?
No. We believe in a "Human-in-the-Loop" philosophy. Our AI agents are designed to eliminate tedious manual busywork, augmenting your employees' capabilities so they can focus on high-level strategy and creative problem-solving.
Data Privacy & Security Questions
Will our company data be used to train public models like ChatGPT?
Absolutely not. We utilize enterprise-grade API endpoints (from OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) that have strict Zero Data-Retention policies. Your proprietary data is never used to train public models.
How do you keep our internal data secure?
We build secure middleware and use vector databases (like Pinecone) deployed within your own isolated cloud environment. The AI only retrieves data via secure, authenticated embeddings.
Can you deploy open-source models locally?
Yes. If you have extreme privacy requirements (e.g., healthcare or finance), we can deploy open-source models like Llama 3 directly onto your private cloud infrastructure so data never leaves your VPC.
Technical Architecture Questions
Which Large Language Models do you use?
We are model-agnostic. We select the best model for your specific use case, including OpenAI's GPT-4, Anthropic's Claude 3, Google's Gemini, and Meta's Llama series.
Can you integrate AI into our existing legacy software?
Yes. As long as your existing software has an API or database access, we can build custom middleware to allow our AI agents to read from and write to your legacy systems.
Pricing & Process Questions
How much does custom AI automation cost?
Pricing varies based on project scope, model selection, and integration complexity. A simple internal search copilot differs from a multi-agent autonomous workflow. Contact us for a free consultation and custom quote.
What are the ongoing costs of running an AI agent?
Ongoing costs typically include LLM API token usage (billed per word/query) and vector database hosting. We offer ongoing retainer packages to manage these costs, monitor token usage, and continuously optimize the AI's prompts.
How long does it take to deploy an AI MVP?
Using our agile deployment methodology, we can often deploy a functional AI Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in 4 to 8 weeks, allowing you to quickly realize ROI and iterate.
