STADLER, a 230-year-old recycling equipment company, embedded ChatGPT (an AI language model that generates human-like text) across its workforce to speed up knowledge work like drafting, summarizing, and translating. The company achieved 30-40% time savings on common tasks, 2.5x faster first drafts, and 85% daily active usage by providing company-wide access, training, and clear guardrails while encouraging bottom-up experimentation.
