Story
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed operations automation to move. In Japan, ops and platform teams already knew where task agents went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Custom GPTs from OpenAI is now in that path. OpenAI develops foundation models and ChatGPT Enterprise, used by companies to build assistants, analyze documents, and speed knowledge work. The company treats it as production tooling for operations automation, which is why ops and platform teams live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries can show how task agents is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run operations automation on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
