Company's Much-Anticipated 'Enterprise AI Platform' Revealed to Be ChatGPT with Company Logo
The platform, which employees were told would 'transform how we work,' features the GPT-4 interface with a blue banner reading 'AcmeCorp AI' at the top.
CHICAGO — Employees at Acme Corporation received an email Thursday from the Chief Digital Officer announcing the launch of “AcmeCorp AI,” described as a “proprietary artificial intelligence platform built to transform how we work, collaborate, and serve our customers.”
The platform is ChatGPT with a blue banner at the top that says “AcmeCorp AI.”
“This represents eighteen months of development,” said CDO Patricia Huang in the company-wide email, a claim that sources close to the IT department say refers primarily to the time it took to negotiate an enterprise OpenAI contract and add CSS to a white-label wrapper.
The platform includes several “proprietary features,” including a custom system prompt telling the model to “always be professional,” a slightly modified shade of blue on the send button, and a terms of service page that employees must agree to before learning they are already using GPT-4.
“It’s really seamless,” said one employee who uses ChatGPT at home and immediately recognised the interface. “Just like the real thing.”
The company spent approximately $340,000 on the integration, excluding the $2.2 million in consulting fees paid to the firm that recommended the integration.
At press time, Acme Corporation had begun work on “AcmeCorp AI 2.0,” which will feature a slightly different shade of blue.
