Moveworks Launches Quick GPT, Giving Employees a Streamlined and Approved Path to GenAI

By: via Business Wire

New Quick GPT feature improves employee productivity by natively incorporating the knowledge and value of foundational LLMs into a unified, agentic AI Assistant

Moveworks today announced the addition of Quick GPT to its leading agentic AI Assistant, a solution that empowers employees across the company to find answers, automate tasks, and boost productivity. Quick GPT is a new feature that drives greater employee efficiency by giving users a safe way to harness the power of LLMs without compromising enterprise security and requirements.

Quick GPT unlocks a variety of productivity use cases for every team across the organization, all inside the AI Assistant they already use today. For example, engineering teams can conduct comprehensive code reviews to accelerate the speed of software development, sales teams can quickly research target accounts and customer news for deeper insights, and HR teams can generate first drafts of job descriptions or internal communication for improved efficiency.

"Moveworks’ Quick GPT delivers the most helpful generative AI capabilities into a unified AI Assistant that millions of employees rely on today. Work often requires both business-specific and general knowledge, and Quick GPT is another way to unlock employee productivity and streamline their everyday tasks,“ said Varun Singh, President and Co-founder of Moveworks. “Quick GPT helps organizations across all sizes and industries deploy AI while guaranteeing the protection of sensitive data and ensuring governance and compliance through industry-leading analytics and insights.”

Balancing Knowledge Worker Needs and Enterprise IT Needs

Up to 79% of knowledge workers actively use ChatGPT on the job. However, almost immediately after ChatGPT’s launch came reports of knowledge workers entering sensitive data into the interface like code, financial projections, meeting minutes, and more. Many organizations reacted by banning the use of ChatGPT by employees entirely.

Recognizing the tension between employees' growing demand for ChatGPT's capabilities and the security requirements IT departments must uphold, Quick GPT empowers employees with the functionality they are used to leveraging every day while also providing the enterprise-level controls companies need. Quick GPT manifests within the Moveworks AI Assistant in two ways:

  • As an invokable plugin. When users want to intentionally invoke ChatGPT, they should be able to easily access that tool. With it, users are able to directly instruct Moveworks to use GPT-4o today, and other advanced models as they become available, to generate a response. Employees can use Quick GPT as a plugin for a variety of use cases, such as drafting an outline for a topic you want to write about.
  • As a backstop. As a backstop, Quick GPT provides answers to questions when curated sources within your organization are not able to help. It prioritizes answers based on business-verified information before offering information from general knowledge contained within LLMs for instances like: Help! I just spilled a large iced coffee on my keyboard. What can I do?

With the addition of Quick GPT, Moveworks continues to strengthen its all-in-one platform for employee support, helping them find answers, automate tasks, and be more productive at work. With Quick GPT, the AI Assistant delivers a powerful experience that allows employees to get the exact help they need – answers are referenceable and grounded in a company’s trusted knowledge or they can tap the power of frontier LLMs for general research, content creation, task automation, and more.

The key benefits of Quick GPT within the Moveworks AI Assistant include:

  • A unified enterprise AI assistant for a wide range of workflows. Quick GPT enables access to GPT capabilities in the same interface powering search and automation across enterprise apps. This streamlines workflows end-to-end in the AI Assistant readily available to employees in the surfaces they already use, such as Slack and Teams.
  • Stronger controls and oversight for safer use. Built-in tools allow admins to set parameters, work-appropriateness filters, and custom topic inclusion/exclusion enables organizations to better manage GPT access and experiences.
  • Built-in analytics for transparency and compliance. Admins are able to track query types and usage patterns, supporting internal compliance and offering visibility into how Quick GPT is being harnessed across the organization to accelerate work.
  • High-level security and governance. Quick GPT has a zero-day data retention policy with OpenAI. QuickGPT does not use employee inputs to train global generative AI models nor does OpenAI with their global machine learning models.
