Why it matters
Generative AI can draft, summarize, translate, answer questions, write code, and assist analysis — scaling knowledge work in ways previous automation couldn’t. The business challenge is making it reliable: grounding it in your data with RAG, evaluating outputs, and controlling cost and risk.
Generative vs. predictive AI
Predictive AI (traditional machine learning) forecasts or classifies — churn, demand, risk. Generative AI creates. Many real solutions combine both. See the difference in our generative AI consulting.
