Story
Materials work at Westlake spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Internal knowledge work was splitting across regional habits. Knowledge workers asked for a shared way to run research and writing without freezing local judgment.
OpenAI (OpenAI API) is what they standardized on. OpenAI develops foundation models and ChatGPT Enterprise, used by companies to build assistants, analyze documents, and speed knowledge work. Westlake uses it as the system of record for internal knowledge work, with knowledge workers as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
