SmartSimple is flexible enough to integrate with different third-party AI vendors. Currently, our integration supports OpenAI's ChatGPT-4o model by default.

Can we use a different vendor other than OpenAI?

If you would like to integrate with a different vendor, reach out to our Platform Solutions team or your account manager for more details.

Can we use a different vendor with other SmartSimple +AI features?

Azure AI can be used with the variable processor, custom field creation, and +AI Directive. Some +AI features such as +AI Assistant and +AI Insights are not supported with Azure AI.

Azure AI can be referenced in the variable processor using the syntax example below. The "deployment name" is an optional parameter. If left unspecified, the model configured within the Integration Key Management settings will be used.

Who is responsible for the data that is used with the AI feature?

As with any third-party service accessible through SmartSimple, it is up to the data controller (client) to understand the implications of using any data processor.
