Company-wide generative AI linked to SharePoint Online
Nearly 60% of Asahi Yukizai's employees use generative AI daily, SoftBank says
Problem
Asahi Yukizai kept internal information spread across many places. Factory staff in particular needed a faster way to find internal regulations.
Approach
The company moved its internal portal to SharePoint Online and licensed SoftBank's dailyAI, a GPT-based service, for all employees at a flat cost. Office staff use it to summarize, translate and brainstorm. Factory staff use it to search internal rules stored in SharePoint. The company also plans AI agents and is testing a contract-review system in its legal department.
Results
Takeaway
A flat-fee licence with no cap on users let the company open generative AI to every employee, including factory floor staff, once its documents sat in one place.
