Solution

Cradle built its Microsoft solution to improve customer-service and conversational-support workflows. Making sense of the startup scene One of the key challenges of Malaysia's startup ecosystem was fragmented access to essential resources and support, causing inefficiencies that hindered startups' growth and success. Azure openai service ran model inference or heavy processing. User prompts and domain content are orchestrated through Azure OpenAI Service, processed by Azure OpenAI Service, and then delivered through Azure OpenAI Service so Cradle can return context-aware answers or automation in the flow of work. The governed Microsoft stack gave Cradle a reusable foundation for generative ai / llm, ai and machine learning while keeping deployment, security, and day-to-day operations inside the Microsoft estate. User engagement quadrupled while resolution time was reduced from two days to a few clicks.
