LLMs, much like the ones we are seeing for consumer use (and will see more of), can help solve this problem at the business level. Prompting in a chat interface or conversing with an avatar intelligently and providing the information (and/or access to source files) is a superior employee experience. Enterprise LLMs possess the potential to help teams do their jobs better, faster, more effectively, more efficiently, and more accurately\u2014acting as essentially workplace assistants that begin to bring back together all of the fragmented, siloed, and potentially outdated data.
The Data Mining of Prompt Fields
Lastly, all of the above\u2014both Open AI\u2019s ecosystems as well as what will be built on the enterprise side of things are already making an empire of data that is going to rival what we\u2019ve seen created by companies like Google, who sit on treasure troves of insight because they know what people search for, how, when, where, and can translate what it means.
The prompt field is the new search box.
This is the paradigm shift that Google is all over right now. They understand that prompting, the things we are asking LLMs to do for us, shows intent and gets into even more nuance that searches can provide (as rich as that data is). Prompt data will create an entirely new way to look at what data is and what it means. The power will go to the platforms sitting on all that data\u2014this is one of the reasons why companies are being selective about how they go about building their proprietary LLMs\u2014who can be trusted both with the data that the LLM trains on, what it can ingest from users as well as what the prompting from employees reveals.
In short\u2014all of the above adds up to an \u201Capp store moment.\u201D The power of LLMs is in the hands of the consumer, and so is building one. Inevitably, all of this leads to the \u201Cconsumerism of IT,\u201D which happens today much faster than it did ten years ago. So let\u2019s say you work in the communications department of a large company and want to draft a communication reflecting the latest. Sustainability efforts ladder up to the company\u2019s mission, and you need help putting it together\u2026
There\u2019s a chat for that.
