Service13:09 Switching Between Service and BYOK13:46 Whats Next and Final ThanksMike, Founder and CEO of SuiteDash, introduces SuiteDash as a business operations and automations harness for A.I., explaining that an A.I. “intelligence endpoint” needs a harness to take real-world actions and that business context and permissions are critical. He argues that building a custom harness across many disconnected tools is fragile and distracting, and positions SuiteDash as a tight, single-database platform with the needed business “surfaces” already built. He explains BYOK (Bring Your Own Key), allowing users to plug in one or many A.I. provider API keys, assign different models to different processes for cost and privacy control, and even use local models for compliance. He demos the A.I. Connections area, reporting, adding providers and verifying keys, setting default models, and switching to SuiteDash’s at-cost A.I. service for users without API keys, and previews upcoming videos on agents and skills.----https://suitedash.com is on a Mission to help business owners around the world achieve #SuiteFreedom by leveraging the power of systems, processes & automations!But realize that YOU are ALSO a part of our Mission!Our development is 100% guided by YOU and the Community as a whole!
