PX-GPT group-wide employee assistant
Panasonic made PX-GPT available to about 90,000 domestic employees
Problem
Employees outside Panasonic Connect wanted access to an AI assistant for evaluating business uses and improving routine work. Panasonic Holdings needed a group-wide environment and usage rules.
Approach
Panasonic Holdings built PX-GPT from Panasonic Connect's ConnectGPT environment and launched it on April 14, 2023. Employees accessed Azure OpenAI through the company intranet. The service included automatic translation and warnings about entering confidential or personal information.
Results
Takeaway
The group expanded access using a subsidiary's existing assistant as its base. The announced employee coverage did not establish active use or productivity gains.
