Welcome to the fourth edition of our "Demystifying Generative AI" series. This time, we will explore how Generative AI can be leveraged to achieve core business goals. How can this groundbreaking technology be used to drive increased efficiency, reduced costs, or an enhanced customer experience? We'll examine these questions while taking a brief look at examples from companies leveraging Generative AI today.
Check out the first three installments here:
- The Basics and Business Implications of Generative AI
- Generative AI in Practice: How are businesses currently using generative AI?
- Implementing Generative AI: What resources (both human and technical) are needed to implement generative AI and what are the key steps in the implementation process?
1. Enhancing Efficiency
Generative AI is transforming business processes by automating complex tasks, resulting in a significant efficiency boost. For instance, consider content creation, a time-consuming task for any marketing department. Generative AI can automate the generation of content, ranging from social media posts and product descriptions to personalized emails. This reduces the time and effort spent on routine tasks, allowing your team to focus on more strategic areas.
A tangible example of Generative AI improving efficiency in practice can be found at 6Sense, a revenue ops platform, who used a Gen AI writing tool Writer to increase writing output by 50% and rebrand 100 blog posts in 100 minutes.
2. Reducing Costs
Generative AI provides an excellent way for businesses to save on costs. For instance, Generative AI can be used to reduce the cost of core business functions like product development, R&D, and supply chain operations. By leveraging vast amounts of historical data and learning from complex patterns, Generative AI models can generate new material prototypes or operational workflows that optimize for cost savings.
As an example, chemical producer BASF is collaborating with Zapata to optimize their operations across the value chain, from raw material sourcing to the location of production facilities. Together, they are training generative models on the best available solutions to these problems in order to generate new, previously unconsidered solutions.
3. Enhancing Customer Experience
Generative AI offers remarkable potential to elevate the customer experience. By using AI to generate personalized content, businesses can engage customers more effectively and enhance their journey. Utilizing customer data, AI can provide highly tailored recommendations and messages that resonate with individual preferences and behaviors. This level of personalization can enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty.
A perfect example of this in practice is Spotify’s recently launched DJ feature. With its AI-powered DJ, Spotify enables users to interact with their own personal music guide that knows their taste so well that it can choose what to play for them. Spotify leverages tools such as OpenAI and their own internal voice AI to provide a human-like experience filled with insightful facts about the music, artists, or genres users are listening to.
As you can see, Generative AI can play a significant role in accomplishing key business goals. But to leverage its full potential, businesses must fully grasp the challenges and risks associated with deploying Generative AI solutions. In our next edition, we will delve into these potential challenges and risks associated with implementing Generative AI and discuss strategies to mitigate them.
