Copilot, NotebookLM and exaBase for head-office routine work
Nihon Nohyaku's corporate planning team says AI cut more than 80% of its routine work
Problem
Head-office staff spent much of their time on routine work such as minutes, documents and data charts. The company also had to share material with group companies abroad in several languages.
Approach
Head-office staff began using generative AI around 2023, after ChatGPT appeared. They used Microsoft Copilot, NotebookLM and the exaBase agent AI for minutes, document drafting and data visualisation. They also used AI to produce multilingual material and dashboards for group companies.
Results
Takeaway
The corporate planning team used AI to compile data quickly first, so discussions could start before the materials were polished.
