Production-Grade Reliability

90% failure rates vs 99.99% uptime. Handle 2M+ documents daily without breaking.

Honest Accuracy

'No hallucinations' is impossible with LLMs. We give confidence scores so you know when to trust responses.

Flexible Pricing

$99 to $499 jump leaves mid-market stranded. GAPI offers gradual, usage-based scaling.

Account Flexibility

No surprise lockouts on inactive subscriptions. Clear enterprise policies with CSM oversight.

Performance at Scale

Sub-second responses even with millions of documents. No degradation as you grow.

Action Execution

CustomGPT answers questions. GAPI executes actions in your systems.

Easy setup, impossible to scale

Hidden Costs of Building In-House

Opportunity Cost

6-12 months your team isn't building product. What's that worth?

Hiring Difficulty

ML engineers are expensive and scarce. Average time-to-hire: 6 months.

Ongoing Maintenance

DIY systems require constant updates. Models change. Libraries break.

Risk of Failure

70% of ML projects fail in production. GAPI is battle-tested.

Compliance Burden

SOC2 + HIPAA certification takes 6+ months DIY. GAPI is certified today.

Scaling Challenges

Your DIY system handles 10K docs. What happens at 1M?
