The Critical Role of Documents in Modern Enterprises

Across industries, enterprises depend on documents to function seamlessly. Just think about the last week—how many hours did you spend building a document, slide deck, or spreadsheet? These instruments are core to how we plan, align, execute, and communicate our work.

Whether in procurement, finance, sales, HR, or a more specialized team, documents serve as the backbone of communication, decision-making, and action. Knowledge workers in industries like legal services or BFSI are especially familiar with long chains of documents, which are put together after complex processes of data collection, research, and fact-checking.

Ema's Document Generation suite was built to streamline this complexity, making it easier for teams to manage and produce the documents that drive enterprise success.

Chain of documents that represents a typical procurement process

Generating long-form documents with LLMs is a hard problem

Text generation may seem like a solved problem for many AI language models, but long-form document generation of enterprise-grade quality remains a hard problem. Large Language Models (LLMs) struggle with creating accurate, grounded, and high-quality documents due to hallucinations and poor alignment with human expectations.

Enterprises have a variety of tasks that can be solved via intelligent automation, but no single public LLM can achieve the accuracy needed in specific and dynamic enterprise contexts.

While using multiple models and applying model selection is the right way forward, traditional and ML-based methods of model selection do not reliably deliver high accuracy at low costs and latency.

intelligently combines the best public and private models to achieve the highest accuracy at the lowest costs and latency, while also preserving the security of sensitive enterprise data.

Enterprises face a daunting challenge when it comes to using AI, given how rapidly it is evolving. The key question is: 

How best can you leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) for various enterprise tasks, while achieving high accuracy at the lowest possible costs and latency?

With over 100 LLMs available today, each offering unique strengths in accuracy, latency, and cost and for different tasks, the natural inclination might be to hand-pick the best single model for each job—but this approach is fundamentally flawed and inefficient.

Agentic tasks in an enterprise range from highly simple to highly complex. For example, a straightforward task might involve generating routine email responses, or summarizing meeting notes. In contrast, complex tasks could be providing nuanced customer support, synthesizing vast amounts of enterprise knowledge, or conducting predictive analyses based on intricate data sets. The diversity and complexity of these tasks make it impossible for any single LLM to meet enterprise-grade requirements efficiently and securely.

The idea of selecting a "best" model assumes that one LLM can sufficiently balance the trade-offs between accuracy, latency, and cost across all types of tasks. But this is rarely the case. A model optimized for accuracy may be too slow for real-time applications, while a model that excels in speed may lack the depth needed for more sophisticated queries. Moreover, models that are cost-effective at scale might compromise on performance, leading to inadequate results for critical tasks.

An approach that combines multiple models for each task is thus essential. Enterprises need to move beyond the idea of a one-size-fits-all LLM and embrace using multiple models, each tailored to specific aspects of their agentic workflows.

Consider this: a lightweight model handles initial customer interactions or routine tasks, while a more powerful, resource-intensive model is used for in-depth analysis and complex decision-making processes. Such a strategic combination of models would ensure that each task is handled by the most appropriate tool, optimizing for accuracy, latency, and cost in a way that no single model can achieve.

But choosing the right combination of models in this manner, for a wide range of enterprise tasks, is no simple feat either. We explain why common approaches to model selection are inadequate for the enterprise, and how that shaped

 our vision to build EmaFusion™—our proprietary model that achieves the highest accuracy at the lowest costs and latency, in a manner that is secure, flexible, and efficient across all enterprise tasks

Why Model Selection or Model Routing is Inadequate

In their quest to leverage large language models (LLMs) for agentic tasks, enterprises have turned towards various model selection strategies hoping to identify the "best" model for each task. But both traditional and machine learning-based approaches to model selection have proven inadequate for the complex and dynamic nature of enterprise environments.

ML Expert Manual Configuration-Based Model Selection

One common approach involves having a machine learning expert painstakingly analyze each agentic task to identify the most suitable LLM. Through extensive trial and error, they configure a routing framework that hardcodes which task should be directed to which model.

While this method may seem thorough, it has significant drawbacks:

: Once a configuration is established, incorporating new models into the framework becomes challenging. The entire system may need to be re-evaluated and reconfigured, which is not only time-consuming but also limits the ability to quickly take advantage of advancements in LLM technology.

 This approach requires the expertise of seasoned machine learning professionals who must continuously monitor and adjust the system. The trial-and-error nature of the process is labor-intensive, costly, and prone to human error.

Static Solutions in a Dynamic Environment:

 Enterprises are dynamic, with constantly evolving tasks and requirements. A rigid configuration may not adapt well to changing needs, leading to sub-optimal performance as tasks evolve or new tasks emerge.

 As the number of tasks or models increases, the complexity of managing the routing framework grows exponentially, making it difficult to maintain efficiency across the system.

In these solutions, a machine learning model analyzes the prompt body of the agent's task and attempts to route it to a single LLM. While this method appears to solve for the limitations of the above approach, it also suffers from a few issues in enterprise environments.

 These models are typically trained on benchmark datasets available on the internet, which do not reflect the specific and nuanced tasks of an enterprise setting. The model selection process is thus not well-tuned to unique enterprise environments, leading to poor performance.

 In enterprises, agentic tasks are often complex, with prompts that may encapsulate multiple atomic tasks. For example, a single prompt might require generating a detailed customer report while simultaneously updating internal records and providing recommendations for the next steps. Existing machine learning-based selection models struggle with such complexity, often routing these prompts to high-capacity models that, while powerful, may be unnecessarily expensive and slow.

 Due to their inability to decompose complex prompts into manageable sub-tasks, these systems tend to over-rely on the most capable—and typically most expensive—models, leading to inflated costs and increased latency.

 The training data for these selection models often lacks the diversity and specificity required to accurately route enterprise-level tasks. This results in models that are not only biased towards general-purpose tasks but also fail to optimize for the diverse needs of an enterprise, where specialized knowledge and context are critical.

Both these model selection strategies, while valuable in certain contexts, fall short when applied to enterprise agentic tasks. They either lack the flexibility to adapt to new models and tasks or are constrained by training data and complexity, leading to inefficiencies and higher costs. There is a need for a more sophisticated approach, one that can effectively combine multiple models to meet the diverse and evolving demands of modern enterprises.

Model merging, the process of combining parameters or knowledge from multiple pre-trained models into a single unified model, has been explored in academic research as a method to leverage diverse model capabilities. Techniques such as 

parameter averaging, knowledge distillation, and weight interpolation 

have been proposed to merge models trained on different datasets or tasks.

These approaches remain largely theoretical, however, impractical for real-world use cases, particularly when attempting to merge closed-source and open-source models. Closed-source models often have proprietary architectures, undisclosed training methodologies, and inaccessible weights, making direct parameter alignment or knowledge integration infeasible. In addition, 

 further complicate the practical application of such merging efforts.

The fundamental incompatibilities between open and closed-source models—ranging from architecture differences to training data biases—highlight that model merging is primarily an academic exercise with limited utility in real-world scenarios. Practical approaches such as ensembling, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), or fine-tuning individual models for specific tasks are far more effective and implementable in production environments.

EmaFusion™: Inspired by how humans solve complex problems

 lies in the analogy of assembling a team of human experts to tackle a complex problem, where each expert brings unique strengths, perspectives, and domain-specific knowledge. Instead of relying on a single generalist model, 

EmaFusion™ integrates outputs from a diverse set of foundation models, smaller models, and domain-specific models, enabling a collective intelligence that surpasses the capabilities of any individual component.

This approach is inherently collaborative—each model contributes its specialized understanding to produce a well-rounded, nuanced solution. 

Unlike model routing, which dynamically selects a single model based on the input, EmaFusion™ leverages the collective output of all models, allowing it to synthesize diverse insights and subtleties that routing to any single model would miss.

mitigates biases inherent to any one model

, making it especially valuable for complex and multidisciplinary challenges.

Unlike traditional model selection strategies that fall short in the enterprise context, EmaFusion™ introduces a dynamic model fusion architecture that optimizes the use of all available large language models (LLMs), as well as many domain specific and private models, to deliver superior results.

Dynamic Model Fusion for Optimal Performance

EmaFusion™ is the first architecture designed to combine multiple LLMs dynamically, ensuring that each agentic task is executed with minimal trade-offs. By leveraging the strengths of various models,

 EmaFusion™ intelligently balances accuracy, cost, and latency, providing a tailored solution for every task

. This approach is especially critical in enterprise settings, where tasks can range from simple query processing to complex, multi-faceted operations.

One of the core innovations of EmaFusion™ is its ability to automatically synthesize training data. Starting with a small number of seed prompt templates—representative examples of high-level enterprise tasks—EmaFusion™ generates a comprehensive dataset that captures the nuances and diversity of real-world scenarios. This data serves as the foundation for training its novel two-tier Fusion network architecture, enabling EmaFusion™ to understand and predict the best model combinations for any given task.

The first tier of the Fusion network focuses on model prediction. It learns to anticipate which models are best suited for a specific agentic task without needing to run the task through the models themselves. This predictive capability allows EmaFusion™ to quickly and efficiently identify the optimal models, reducing the need for resource-intensive trial and error.

The second tier is where EmaFusion™ truly shines. EmaFusion™ learns how to combine the selected models in the most effective way. For example, consider a complex task like generating a detailed customer report that requires extracting information from multiple sources, summarizing key points, and providing actionable insights. EmaFusion™ might combine a model known for its data extraction accuracy with another model that excels in summarization, and yet another that specializes in generating actionable insights. 

The result is a cohesive output that is not only accurate but also delivered with optimal efficiency.

EmaFusion™  is designed to be highly flexible, with an architecture that can incorporate any model, whether it’s an open-source LLM, an API-only LLM, or an LLM fine-tuned with custom training data, ensuring that enterprises are not locked into any specific set of models. Instead, with EmaFusion™, they can continuously integrate the latest advancements in LLM technology into their workflows without disrupting operations. EmaFusion™ adapts to these changes seamlessly, so that enterprises always have access to the most effective tools for their needs.

The range and dynamism of enterprise environments demand technology and automation that goes beyond what any single LLM or model can provide. Further, traditional model routing methods between LLMs also fall short of enterprise needs, where tasks can be both simple or complicated, and are best addressed by a strategic combination of public and private models that optimizes for accuracy, costs, as well as latency.

EmaFusion™ transcends the limitations of traditional model selection by offering a 

 that can meet the evolving demands of enterprise agentic tasks. Its innovative architecture provides a powerful, flexible, efficient and secure solution for enterprises to harness the full potential of LLMs without being locked into any single one of them, or constrained by the typical trade-offs in accuracy, cost, and latency.

Why Does Model Routing Not Work? How EmaFusion is Revolutionizing the Art and Science of Combining Public and Private Models

To succeed with Agentic Business Automation (ABA), enterprises must transition from siloed, static tech stacks to horizontal, adaptive systems that enable data sharing and intelligent, real-time, secure decision-making by AI.

Enterprises will go from paying for access to software to the usage and outcomes generated by it, working with vendors that are accountable and aligned with strategic enterprise objectives.

As humans go from using software as an assistive tool to working with intelligent and autonomous systems, organizations will need to equip their new superteams with robust change management practices and continuous learning and upskilling.

When electricity was first introduced into American factories in the early 1900s, 

 for more than two decades. It was only after managers reorganized their production lines to use more distributed machinery, which was possible now because of electricity, that they could start reaping the benefits of this groundbreaking new technology.

" refers to this common historical pattern, where breakthrough technologies are often followed by initially slow productivity growth. The sharp takeoff in results only happens years or decades later, when surrounding processes, skills, and business operations have also aligned to generate benefits systematically. Technology alone is rarely enough.

We are now at another such inflection point with AI, where the results from this epochal new technology will accrue to those who know how best to use and operationalize it. AI is 

 to create USD$19.9 trillion in value for global GDP by 2030. But, as recent research has also 

, most businesses don’t have a clear AI strategy in place, and are unsure of how to measure its impact.

Especially when it comes to Agentic AI, the latest evolution of cognitive automation and artificial intelligence, the potential for disruption and the blind spots are both larger. Gartner predicts that 

33% of enterprise software will include Agentic AI

 by 2028, up from less than 1% today. As much as 15% of day-to-day work and decision-making will be handled by autonomous, agentic systems in the near future—creating a generational leap in human productivity across industries and functions.

, businesses have to rethink their systems and processes, as people go from using technology as a limited assistive tool to seeing it as another colleague, an intelligent, adaptive system that is capable of reasoning, taking action, learning from its own outputs and getting better with time, just as other humans would.

The DNA of this AI-first organization of the future will change how tech is deployed throughout the business, how it is procured and priced, how its success is measured, and how humans and technology work together. Based on 

our experiences of serving the world’s leading enterprises

 with Agentic Business Automation as a Service (ABAaaS), here’s what the enterprise ecosystem for Agentic AI success looks like.

The Technology Shift: From siloed, legacy tech stacks to horizontal, agentic systems

Why SaaS is Dead and the Future is Agentic

, current enterprise software is bloated. Cloud computing and SaaS tools were massive leaps from the tedious on-prem software of the 1990s, but enterprises in the 2020s are mired in data silos, operational complexity, and excessive spending on automation that remains largely assistive.

, traditional SaaS has failed to truly release humans from mundane work and to create transformational productivity gains. This is now possible with cognitive automation, particularly Agentic AI, which can autonomously execute complex business workflows end-to-end across the organization.

 utilizes a conversational, intelligent, adaptive layer of AI agents, who iterate and improve on their own output, work with each other and human colleagues, and can access external tools and systems in a secure, efficient fashion to execute complex tasks and create tangible outcomes in line with strategic business goals.

This is a sharp departure from copilot GenAI and traditional SaaS, which remain confined to vertical, assistive use-cases within singular functions like HR or sales and marketing. Current tech architectures are thus vertically siloed and rather static, and need to evolve to more 

 where different functions can talk to each other and share information in a secure, collaborative, and adaptive fashion.

 based on past and real-time data, adapting to changing conditions and taking intelligent actions across the organization autonomously.

must adapt to this new internal landscape where data sources are interconnected, and modular parts are interoperable. It is critical to ensure data integrity, compliance, and the security of sensitive information, while accommodating dynamic data flows and real-time decision-making by AI. Enterprises may adopt AI-specific frameworks, such as 

, to address the transparency and security aspects of interconnected systems.

Most importantly, enterprises need to deploy ABA that balances the versatility of public AI models with the safety, security, and specificity of private models. This hybrid approach solves the major problem with current enterprise GenAI, such as inaccuracies and hallucinations. 

 to optimally select the best combination of public and private LLMs for each task, producing the highest accuracy outputs at the lowest costs and latency, while maintaining strict control over sensitive enterprise data.

Enterprises that instead rely entirely on single models face the threat of inaccurate outputs, obsoletion, and the costs of maintaining and seeking the right models for evolving needs, which is a significant technology and investment risk.

When deployed correctly, ABA has the power to convert human teams into 

. The division of labor between humans and machines will continue to 

 towards machines, especially for more kinds of repetitive work. And as software shifts from being assistive to autonomous and accountable, enterprises will have to evolve how they procure and price such technology too.

"With Agentic Business Automation, software will go from being a mere tool that assists humans to being a collaborative, intelligent partner that makes teams harness their full potential."

The Process Shift: Rethinking Procurement and Pricing with Agentic Business Automation (ABA)

Traditional procurement processes are built around predictable seat-based SaaS pricing models, which charge for access to software rather than for the usage or outcomes delivered by such software. Such standard SLAs, with low accountability for ROI from vendors, do not align with the usage- and outcome-based capabilities of ABA, which can be priced by the quantum of work executed or the outcome generated by software.

This means that enterprises can choose vendors that offer 

with vendor incentives that are aligned with strategic business goals. This type of contract will ensure businesses only pay for the value delivered by software, fostering

from vendors. Contracts may thus move from rigid, narrow deliverables towards

, such as new productivity gains unlocked, increased decision-making efficiency, or more time for creative and strategic work. These results are better achieved with horizontal platforms, where agentic systems across functions can unlock new gains and more accurate results, ensuring long-term scalability—versus narrow, point-based solutions, which will remain confined to a specific function.

Vendor selection will thus be shaped by this consideration, so that there is long-term alignment between enterprise objectives and the vendor’s technological capabilities and business model. Ema’s horizontal platform empowers enterprises with a suite of AI employees across functions like sales and marketing, HR, customer support, as well as general use-cases like document generation. Ema also has a Generative Workflow Engine™ (GWE) that allows custom configuration of a pre-built library of agents to complete any complex enterprise workflow. This holistic approach ensures that intelligent agentic systems can excel at their own functions and also dynamically collaborate across them, breaking down data silos and enabling organizations to scale efficiently with evolving business needs.

Enterprises should also ensure that contracts align with 

 such as GDPR or CCPA, to ensure compliance and the safety of sensitive information. Ema's data governance redacts sensitive information before passing it on to public LLMs, enforcing compliance with leading industry standards through top-tier encryption, and customizable, private models.

To avoid vendor lock-in, enterprises should choose providers that support modular integrations and have a hybrid approach, so as to seamlessly transition if business goals or partnerships need to change. Only by revamping procurement processes to prioritize

 accountability, security, and adaptability,

 can enterprises capitalize on the transformative potential of Agentic Business Automation, while building resilient partnerships that scale with their needs.
