Bereke Bank — A leading, digital-first financial institution in Kazakhstan, committed to leveraging cutting-edge AI and Google Cloud technologies to drive innovation and operational excellence.
Bereke Bank aimed to unlock the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate internal processes and deploy advanced AI agents. But a critical barrier stood in the way: cost uncertainty. To confidently scale their AI initiatives, they needed absolute transparency in pricing, a simple invoicing structure, and zero dependency on extra services. They needed a clear path to achieve cost optimization for Google Cloud AI services.
As a dedicated partner, Elcore provided a clear path forward. We secured early access to the Gemini 1.5 Flash modeland $3,000 in Google Cloud credits for a risk-free pilot.
Our cloud team proposed Vertex AI and demystified the cost structure by focusing on token-based billing. By providing detailed, SKU-level breakdowns for every input and output, we gave Bereke Bank the cost predictability they needed. This removed the financial guesswork, empowering the bank to focus on what truly matters: innovation.
With clear financial controls and powerful technology, Bereke Bank achieved significant results:
Rapid Innovation: Successfully launched its first Proof of Concept (POC) using the provided $3,000 in GCP credits, immediately testing Gemini’s capabilities.
A Clear Path to Production: The bank is now confidently evaluating Vertex AI Agents for full-scale deployment to optimize business operations.
Data-Driven Service Improvement: By applying Gemini models to vast amounts of customer feedback, the bank is uncovering actionable insights that directly fuel service enhancements and product innovation.
