  • 🚨ZOHO Just Built Its Own ChatGPT🚨—Inside ZOHO’s Bold AI Power Play To Escape Big Tech's AI Trap | Ep-14 | Zoho One For Local Small Business Owners
    Jul 18 2025

    WATCH ON YOUTUBE - https://youtu.be/o61iTil_2Ks

    📰🚨 HUGE NEWS: Zoho Just Built Its Own ChatGPT Alternative!

    Zoho just dropped a bombshell announcement that's shaking up the AI world! They've built their own proprietary LLM (Large Language Model) called Zia LLM, and it's specifically designed for B2B use cases. This isn't just another AI tool - it's a strategic power play for independence and autonomy.

    🔥 What's Inside This Game-Changing Move:

    • Zoho's own LLM trained on NVIDIA's platform running in their data centers
    • 25+ new AI agents integrated across Zoho apps
    • MCP (Model Context Protocol) support for external tool integration
    • Focus on practical business solutions, not flashy demos
    • Built-in privacy protection and data security

    💡 Why This Matters: Zoho isn't just following the AI trend - they're playing the long game. While other companies depend on external AI providers (and risk future price hikes or licensing changes), Zoho is maintaining complete control over their technology stack. They're not trying to be everything to everyone - they're laser-focused on what businesses actually need.

    🎯 The Three-Pronged Strategy:

    1. Own technology in the AI race focused on B2B market
    2. Still offer connections to other LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.)
    3. Admit they're not building a general-purpose LLM - they're specializing

    This is classic Zoho - thinking long-term, prioritizing customer privacy, and refusing to be dependent on big tech. As Sam Altman talks about needing trillions of dollars, Zoho is taking a more practical, focused approach that could pay off big time.

What data truths do "they" (the big tech giants) don't want you, as a local small business owner, to know about? Then, I'll share some simple examples of how local small business owners can leverage CRM data to generate revenue, gain a competitive advantage, and/or enhance brand loyalty.
