TL;DR
Intellect Design Arena has launched 'Purple Fabric', a judgment-centric enterprise AI platform aimed at highly regulated sectors like banking and government. Priced at ₹99,500 per month for up to 50 users, the platform emphasizes accountability and regulatory compliance over mere automation. It is positioned as "Enterprise AI on Tap," reducing the need for massive capital expenditure on AI infrastructure.
Vichaarak Perspective: Beyond the Hype of Automation
Most AI "agents" today are glorified auto-completes, but Intellect is betting on "Judgment AI." By targeting the ₹99.5k price point, they are making a direct play for the mid-market and government departments that are terrified of the "black box" nature of LLMs. This isn't just a software launch; it's a statement that for AI to work in the real world, it needs to be "governance-ready" and "reliability-first." The low entry barrier could force global SaaS giants to rethink their premium "AI add-on" pricing models.
