Story
Consolidated Edison is based in the United States and runs utilities operations at a scale where task agents cannot live in side channels. Ops and platform teams were reconciling competing copies of the same work, which slowed operations automation and hid who owned the next step.
The company runs operations automation on OpenAI, with GPT-4o as the product ops and platform teams actually open. OpenAI develops foundation models and ChatGPT Enterprise, used by companies to build assistants, analyze documents, and speed knowledge work. For Consolidated Edison, that means ops and platform teams can open one workflow, see task agents, and let neighboring teams join without inventing a parallel stack.
Public materials confirm the companies and products. They do not always publish a single verified KPI for this pairing, so the outcome here is operational: clearer ownership, fewer stalled handoffs, and a shared record for task agents.
