Example Use Cases for AI Controller

This document provides example implementations showing how organizations can use AI Controller to strengthen security, establish governance, and improve efficiency when working with large language models (LLMs).

Note: These are illustrative examples to help you understand AI Controller's capabilities. Your specific implementation will depend on your organization's unique requirements, infrastructure, and goals. Use these examples as inspiration and adapt them to your needs.

Enterprise Governance and Security Examples

Example: Centralized LLM Access Control

Here's an example of how an organization might use AI Controller as a central gateway for managing all LLM interactions.

Sample Implementation Approach:

  1. Set up AI Controller as the central point for all LLM requests
  2. Connect to multiple providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and others
  3. Create user groups that match your organization's departments
  4. Build rules that limit model access based on what each department needs
  5. Set up API keys for applications that need to integrate with LLMs
  6. Turn on comprehensive logging for audit purposes

Example Benefits in This Scenario:

  • One central point to manage all LLM access
  • Consistent security policies across different LLM providers
  • Complete audit trails of all AI interactions
  • Easy integration of new LLM services as they become available

Example: Cost Management and Optimization

This example demonstrates one way to manage LLM costs while ensuring appropriate access levels.

Sample Cost Management Strategy:

  1. Configure AI Controller with strategic caching settings
  2. Create tiered access rules (example tiers):
    • Basic tier: Access to more affordable models like GPT-3.5
    • Advanced tier: Limited access to premium models (GPT-4, Claude)
  3. Set up usage reporting
  4. Track costs by department using API key monitoring

Potential Outcomes in This Example:

  • Reduced costs through smart caching of responses
  • Model assignment based on actual needs
  • Clear visibility into LLM usage patterns
  • Accurate cost allocation to departments or projects

Example: Supporting Multiple Applications

Here's how an organization might use AI Controller to manage several applications with different LLM needs.

Sample Multi-Application Setup:

  1. Deploy AI Controller as a central service
  2. Create separate API keys for each application
  3. Set up application-specific rules, for example:
    • Legal document review app: Access to legally focused models
    • Content creation app: Access to creative models
    • Code assistant app: Access to programming-specialized models
