Large Language Model

A large language model (LLM) is the engine inside tools like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, and Claude. It has been trained on vast amounts of text, and what it learned is a deep statistical sense of how language works — which lets it draft, summarize, translate, and answer questions.

Two practical consequences follow. First, an LLM is a language expert, not a facts database: it needs to be pointed at your approved documents to answer questions about your business reliably. Second, different models have different strengths — one may be better at long technical documents, another at spreadsheet work — which is why this plan routes work across several platforms instead of forcing one to do everything.

Where it shows up in this proposal: the Platform Comparison sheet routes each kind of work to the model family that fits it.
