Imagine uploading your entire employee handbook and getting instant answers to policy questions. That’s the power of GPT-5, now available to small businesses through Microsoft’s Azure AI Foundry.
What’s New: GPT-5 can process massive documents (up to 200 pages) in one go, thanks to its 272,000-token capacity. It also uses an internal orchestrator to break complex tasks into parts and solve them with specialized sub-models. Think of it as an AI project manager with a team of mini-experts.
Why It Matters: SMBs no longer need enterprise budgets to benefit from AI.
Azure AI Foundry is basically a marketplace of AI models or “brains.” You can rent GPT-5 and other models on a pay-as-you-go basis. Thousands of different AI models are available, whether you’re summarizing contracts, analyzing customer histories, or building intelligent chatbots.
Real-World Example: TechHouse used Azure AI to inspect and categorize hundreds of thousands of documents for a client in a fraction of the time and for a fraction of the cost of older methods.
Heads-Up: GPT-5 is powerful but not plug-and-play. Microsoft’s Foundry platform helps compare models to find the best fit for your task, but you will need an experienced AI Digital Process partner or developer to connect them to your workflows.
