This blog introduces the consepts of using OpenAI APIs integrated with Cloud CRM for businesses—namely search, clustering, recommendations, anomaly detection, and classification.

The inclusion of Embeddings as another API for integration presents a unique opportunity to augment Salesboom's existing capabilities in areas that are critical for businesses—namely search, clustering, recommendations, anomaly detection, and classification. The utility of this feature spans across various departments, enhancing functionalities and boosting overall operational efficiency.

Open AI Embeddings Integrated with Cloud CRM and other apps:

Embeddings are a numerical representation of text that can be used to measure the relateness between two pieces of text. Our second generation embedding model, text-embedding-ada-002 is a designed to replace the previous 16 first-generation embedding models at a fraction of the cost.

Embeddings are useful for these tasks:

1. search
2. clustering
3. recommendations
4. anomaly detection
5. search
6. classification

The API has a limit on the maximum number of input tokens for embeddings. To stay below the limit, the text in the CSV file needs to be broken down into multiple rows. The existing length of each row will be recorded first to identify which rows need to be split.

The newest embeddings model can handle inputs with up to 8191 input tokens so most of the rows would not need any chunking, but this may not be the case for every subpage scraped so the next code chunk will split the longer lines into smaller chunks.

By integrating OpenAI's Embeddings API with Salesboom Cloud CRM and back-office solutions, businesses can derive more meaningful insights from their text data, automate a multitude of processes, and thereby improve efficiency, customer satisfaction, and overall performance.

Business use cases of OpenAI Embeddings API with Cloud CRM:

Improved Search and User Experience

For instance, the Marketing and Customer Service departments could benefit greatly from an enhanced search function. Embeddings can make search queries more intuitive, understanding the context of user queries rather than just matching keywords. This can significantly improve user experience, leading to higher customer satisfaction and potentially increased sales.

Clustering and Customer Segmentation

Sales and Marketing can utilize the clustering features to segment customers into more accurate categories based on buying behaviors, preferences, or interactions with the brand. This enables targeted marketing campaigns and personalized customer outreach, thereby optimizing resource allocation and ROI.

Intelligent Recommendations

For Sales and Customer Service, the recommendations engine powered by embeddings can suggest products, solutions, or articles in real-time that are closely aligned with customer queries or identified needs. This not only increases cross-sell and up-sell opportunities but also contributes to customer satisfaction by quickly addressing their needs or solving their problems.

Anomaly Detection for Security and Compliance

From the perspective of IT and Compliance departments, anomaly detection is a vital tool. It can flag unusual user behaviors or inconsistencies in data, serving as an early warning system against potential security threats or compliance issues.

Data Classification and Automation

Embeddings also have valuable applications in Project Management and Accounting, where they can classify and categorize data in an intelligent manner. For instance, expense reports, project updates, and invoices can be automatically sorted into appropriate categories, allowing for more efficient data handling and reporting.

Flexibility and Scalability

The API's ability to handle a large number of input tokens and its cost-effectiveness make it a scalable solution that can adapt as your business grows. The advanced capabilities of the second-generation embedding model make it a robust tool, despite being offered at a fraction of the cost of multiple first-generation models.
