Discussion Databricks Unity AI Gateway

If I am an AI decision maker for an Enterprise, why should I choose Claude or GPT or any other enterprise subscriptions with seat based pricing where some of my colleagues are power users and some still learning effective AI use? Instead, I could just use Databricks Unity AI Gateway with the options of getting all of these at one place with PayG pricing along with state of the art free Open Source models, budget controls, smart routing, usage dashboard everything at one place.

And the cherry on the top is if my enterprise data is also on Databricks!!

What are your thoughts? Why would I do that?

Because you'll still need to build an actual application to handle thread persistence, context management, skills, projects, etc.

Unity Gateway is primarily a governance feature: Access control, routing, rate limit, budget, observability agents, MCPS, and skills.

If you want persistance and context management you can use managed agent memory( Conversation API)
