Story
Inside Air Canada, research and writing used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in industrials groups working out of Canada. Knowledge workers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Air Canada uses Assistants API from OpenAI as the working layer for internal knowledge work. OpenAI develops foundation models and ChatGPT Enterprise, used by companies to build assistants, analyze documents, and speed knowledge work. The practical change is simple: research and writing has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Air Canada gets from OpenAI is a durable place to run research and writing and a way for knowledge workers to see the same internal knowledge work at the same time.
