From assistance to execution: How enterprises put AI to work
OpenAI released two reports showing enterprise AI is shifting from simple assistance to 'execution' through agentic AI. This transition involves using agents to complete substantive work by connecting them to company tools and context.
Why it matters
Companies adopting agentic AI can significantly reduce time spent on complex tasks, such as refactoring code or conducting research. Businesses not implementing infrastructure and governance may fall further behind high-performing 'frontier firms'.
The details
- Frontier firms generate 8.3× more output tokens per active user than typical firms.
- Weekly active Codex users grew 108× in legal since February.
- Early-career employees send more weekly messages than executives six months after adoption.
