UNDERSTANDING WHICH AI PLATFORMS ARE RIGHT FOR YOU
There’s no shortage of AI platforms out there, so choosing the right one to support your business objectives is key. Our expert AI consultants will walk you through the options, evaluate for best fit, and ensure whatever you land on delivers a real return on investment.
MICROSOFT COPILOT
Copilot · Azure OpenAI · Power Automate · Microsoft 365
Best For: Microsoft-first organisations
A strong starting point for teams already using Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Microsoft 365. Focused on permissions, governance, productivity, and secure rollout within already familiar tools. With Anthropic Cowork embedded in Copilot, it becomes even more compelling, adding advanced capability in the same secure, governed environment.
CLAUDE (ANTHROPIC)
Claude · Claude API · Custom workflows · MCP-style integrations
Best For: Document-heavy work, complex reasoning & customised workflows
Useful for teams that need strong reasoning, long-context review, drafting, comparison, or more tailored workflow experiences. Suits policy, legal, proposals, research, project documentation, and internal knowledge work, but worth comparing against what Microsoft can already do more simply and securely.
OTHER PLATFORMS
OpenAI · ChatGPT · Manus · Grok · Specialist SaaS tools
Best For: Familiar tools or specialist use cases
Sometimes the best platform is the one your key users already understand, or the specialist tool that fits a particular workflow. We help you assess whether the tool is safe, useful, governable, and commercially worthwhile.
LOCAL LLM
Open-source frameworks · OpenClaw · Hermes · Llama · Australian-hosted
Best For: Regulated, sensitive, or high-control environments
Unlike other AI models, a local LLM runs directly on your own devices, rather than the cloud, this means your data never leaves your network. This is hugely appealing for businesses dealing with sensitive or private information, and has the added benefit of running completely offline once set up.
THE PROVEN FIVE STEP MODEL
As your AI partners, we will help you build a clear strategy, a solid data foundation, and custom automations that deliver actual value into your business.
Scan
Free assessments that evaluate how ready your business is for AI. Looks at your business strategy, environment, and gaps in your data security.
Prepare
We'll engage with your team to complete a deeper technical assessment, roadmap, and practical toolkit to define the right next steps.
Remediate & Deploy
We build a secure, scalable foundation and minimise risks that ensures your chosen AI platforms operate within clear boundaries.
AI-First Projects
Design and deliver custom agents, automations, workflows and team specific AI solutions that delivers actual business value.
Evolve
With a strong foundation in place, we will roll it out across your business, upskilling teams and providing ongoing AI support.
AI AND DATA SECURITY MATTERS
Smile IT is ISO 27001 certified for information security, the global standard for protecting and managing data. We take security seriously, especially with AI.
Sensitive company and client information stays within your tenancy, never siphoned off to third-party LLM training data.
We ensure the right guardrails and governance are in place before go-live, so secure AI use is built in from day one, giving you peace of mind from the start.
