Exploring AI Possibilities at Divosa

To enhance efficiency and explore how AI could benefit daily tasks, Divosa sought to inspire employees to adopt AI more fully. They partnered with DataNorth for a live Generative AI demo, tailor-made to fit their organization’s needs, aimed at showing how AI could streamline operations.

Getting Started with AI

DataNorth’s engagement began with a live demo during Divosa’s “Experience Days” innovation program. These sessions aim to equip employees with tools and knowledge to improve efficiency. The interactive demo was tailored to Divosa’s needs, allowing employees to see AI in action and how it could be applied to their work.

The demo focused on several key areas:

  • Content Creation: AI was shown to quickly generate image content, addressing a core need at Divosa and saving significant time in communication efforts.
  • Text Generation: It demonstrated how AI can summarize complex material, transcribe handwritten notes using Computer Vision, and generate headlines or internal/external links—features that help boost efficiency.
  • Meeting Transcription: Automating the transcription of meetings, a time-consuming task for Divosa staff, was presented as a key productivity solution.
"Is artificial intelligence the solution to everything? No, but thanks to Chris we learned that there is more possible than you think. For example, transcribing your written notes, creating a structure for your project plan or putting your text in a different writing style. We were guided through the wonderful world of AI in an hour and that generated a lot of enthusiasm in our organization!"
