Red Hat AI

Red Hat AI is a portfolio of products and services that accelerates time to market and reduces the operational cost of delivering AI solutions across hybrid cloud environments. It enables efficient tuning of small, fit-for-purpose models with enterprise-relevant data and provides the flexibility to deploy wherever the data resides.

Red Hat AI allows organizations to manage and monitor the lifecycle of both predictive and generative AI models at scale. The portfolio is powered by open source technologies and a partner ecosystem that focuses on performance, choice and scalability.

Generative AI use cases can be categorized into three business value drivers: revenue generation, cost optimization, and risk management.

Revenue generation use cases contribute to increasing an organization's ability to drive sales, improve customer acquisition, and enhance products or services that generate income. For example, a European company deployed an AI assistant to support doctors in analyzing patient charts and suggesting preventive care actions.

Cost optimization use cases drive savings by automating repetitive tasks, improving decision-making, and enhancing operational workflows. An example of this is a North American financial institution that is developing and testing a knowledge base application to empower employees to provide better customer experiences around risk and equity management.

Risk management use cases focus on identifying, mitigating, and managing potential risks that could negatively impact an organization. Generative AI applications in this category proactively address and minimize risks, helping organizations avoid disruptions, safeguard assets, and ensure compliance. For instance, a government agency in Latin America improved the experience of its end users by building and deploying a series of models to automatically classify and route 2,000 citizen claims per month to the correct team and agency. This reduced the routing time from one hour to just seconds, resulting in faster response times.

Generative AI can complement and augment the outcomes of existing predictive AI use cases within an organization or drive innovation at any level of the enterprise. Other predictive AI use cases:

* AI-optimized logistics

* Sentiment analysis

* Predict employee attrition

* Contract risk assessment

* Fraud detection

* AI-assisted Security Operations

Microsoft 365 Copilot

Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI-powered tool that helps with your work tasks.

Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI-powered assistant integrated into Microsoft 365 apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams. It uses large language models (like GPT-4) combined with your work data (emails, documents, chats, etc.) via Microsoft Graph to help you be more productive

What It Can Do:

In Word: Draft, summarize, or rewrite documents.

In Excel: Analyze data, generate formulas, and create visualizations.

In PowerPoint: Create presentations from text prompts or documents.

In Outlook: Summarize long email threads, draft replies, and adjust tone.

In Teams: Summarize meetings, generate action items, and manage tasks.

How It Works:

You enter a prompt (like “Summarize this report” or “Create a presentation from this document”).

Copilot uses AI to generate content or insights based on your data and the app you're using.

It only accesses data you have permission to see, ensuring privacy and security

Organizations can also create Copilot agents that connect to internal data sources, enabling more tailored responses (e.g., checking shipment status or generating HR documents)
