I understand that you are looking for implementing cost-effective models from Azure AI services for bot development on corporate data like SharePoint, here are some

Azure OpenAI Service, Azure AI Bot Service, and Azure Cognitive Services are cost-effective models for implementing bots on corporate data using Azure AI services.

• Azure OpenAI Service enables the integration of advanced language models for natural language understanding and generation.
• Azure AI Bot Service simplifies the development and deployment of conversational bots, offering seamless integration with corporate platforms like SharePoint and the pricing is based on the number of messages processed, making it scalable and cost-effective for varying usage levels. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/pricing/details/bot-services/
• Azure Cognitive Services deliver modular AI capabilities, such as text analytics, speech processing, and custom decision-making, making it easier to design solutions that align with organizational goals.

Strategies for Cost-Effective Implementation:

• Start small and scale gradually by focusing on a pilot project to validate outcomes before expanding to broader applications.
• Leverage existing data to train and optimize AI models, ensuring the maximum utilization of available resources.
• Optimize resource usage by choosing cost-efficient models, fine-tuning them for specific tasks, and scaling infrastructure only as needed.
• Monitor and analyze usage regularly to track performance, identify areas for improvement, and ensure alignment with organizational goals. Blog
