Problem

Employees spent time creating and processing content. Public AI services created concerns about sharing company information outside Elanco's environment.

Approach

Elanco's IT team created an employee-only generative AI chatbot within the company's network. ElancoGPT launched in June 2023 and supported content creation, summarization and translation. Elanco retained control over information shared with the tool.
