AI is quickly evolving from a cutting-edge tool to a standard component in many business operations. While pre-built AI workflows are helpful, they rarely provide a competitive edge on their own. The real advantage comes from AI platforms that enable businesses to customize workflows for their unique needs. This is where Palantir stands out: offering the perfect balance between pre-configured workflows and the ability to create entirely new ones in just days.
The Commodity Chasm
Many companies turn to widely available, pre-configured AI solutions like predictive analytics or chatbots. While these bring value, they quickly become industry standards, leaving businesses with little room to differentiate.
Commoditized workflows are essential, but to capture the full ROI of efficiency gains, you need a reusable data foundation, like Palantir’s Ontology, combined our platform's flexible toolset. The key is deploying these solutions in a matter of days—not months or years.
The Middle Ground
At Palantir, we recognize that simply adopting AI is not enough for companies to stay ahead. That’s why our Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) goes beyond off-the-shelf workflows. AIP Now allows organizations to deploy pre-built use cases quickly, reducing complexity, but also offers the flexibility to customize workflows to meet specific business challenges. The real advantage is in the hybrid approach: you don’t have to choose between build OR buy—you can buy AND build. That's how you cross the commodity chasm.
The Competitive Edge—Custom Workflows in Days, Not Months
Palantir’s adaptability enables enterprises to deploy custom workflows in days, not months. This speed gives businesses the agility to respond rapidly to market changes or internal demands—far outpacing traditional approaches. Imagine building a workflow that solves a unique challenge or captures an opportunity—the one no one else has thought of—and having it up and running almost instantly.
In a world where AI use cases are becoming commoditized, the ability to quickly build customized solutions is what will set companies apart. Palantir provides the tools to make this happen, helping businesses stay ahead of the curve and secure a lasting competitive advantage through truly unique AI-powered solutions.
