exaBase generative AI for domestic office work
Mabuchi Motor reported more than 9,500 hours saved in its first 3 months of company-wide generative AI use
Problem
Mabuchi Motor wanted to reduce time spent on indirect work, including translation and document preparation. It needed a service that would not use submitted prompts for model training.
Approach
Mabuchi introduced exaBase generative AI across its domestic operations in October 2024. Nippon Steel Solutions supported deployment and user education. Employees used it for translation and survey aggregation, as well as VBA generation and document editing.
Results
Takeaway
The reported saving represented about 2.5% of participating users' working hours, a narrower measure than a company-wide productivity gain.
