Story
Yaskawa did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed research and writing to move. In Japan, knowledge workers already knew where internal knowledge work went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Custom GPTs from OpenAI is now in that path. OpenAI develops foundation models and ChatGPT Enterprise, used by companies to build assistants, analyze documents, and speed knowledge work. The company treats it as production tooling for research and writing, which is why knowledge workers live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Yaskawa can show how internal knowledge work is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run research and writing on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
