This Month’s Source: The State of Enterprise AI (OpenAI 2025)

This is a look under the hood of how 1 million+ businesses are actually using GPT-4 and o1. The data reveals a shift: enterprises are moving from chatting to doing, with reasoning token usage up 320x and agentic workflows finally hitting production.

The Mission: Bridge the gap between strategy and execution. We'll dissect the data to answer one question: What does the Agentic Enterprise actually look like in 2025?

📊 The Format:

• 10-Minute Executive Download: A rapid-fire summary of the report’s critical metrics (e.g., the 8x growth in message volume and the rise of non-technical coding).
• Cross-Pollinated Debate: Founders share what they are shipping; Executives share what they are actually deploying (and blocking).
• Operational Reality Check: We’ll discuss the Shadow AI reality: 75% of workers are completing tasks they previously couldn't do. And how IT is scrambling to govern it.
