Deep Dive

While RAG is usually enough for most businesses, fine-tuning can be used for highly specialized industries (like medical or legal) to teach an AI model a specific vocabulary, tone, or highly complex internal logic.

Why Fine-tuning matters

Fine-tuning matters because buyers and operators need clear language to evaluate AI systems, compare vendors, and decide where automation can safely improve support, sales, or customer experience workflows.

Fine-tuning business example

A business might use Fine-tuning when an AI agent answers a customer question, qualifies a lead, books a meeting, updates a CRM, or escalates a conversation with full context for a human teammate.
