AI is not one-size-fits-all. Understanding the distinction between Generative AI (GAI) and Traditional AI is essential for choosing the right technology for your business goals.
What is Generative AI?
Purpose: To create entirely new content—text, images, video, and more.
Strengths: Innovation, adaptability, and creative output.
Techniques: Uses models like Transformers, GANs, and VAEs.
Applications:
- Content generation
- Product design
- Drug discovery
At FastStrat, we use GAI to automate custom marketing creation and strategy generation—no templates, just tailored outputs.
What is Traditional AI?
Purpose: To analyze data and make predictions based on patterns.
Strengths: Accuracy, consistency, and efficiency in structured tasks.
Techniques: CNNs, RNNs, and reinforcement learning.
Applications:
- Fraud detection
- Medical diagnostics
- Risk assessment
FastStrat also integrates traditional AI to power competitive benchmarking and performance analytics—helping marketers make informed decisions fast.
