Roquette

Enterprise Knowledge Search

RoqGPT was born of one observation: employees' unbridled enthusiasm for ChatGPT. "The application quickly caught on with our employees. Within a few months, at least 500 of them had tested the online version," explains Pierre-Louis Bescond, Head of Data & Advanced Analytics. This enthusiasm prompted the company to consider how to integrate this technology without compromising the high level of data confidentiality it has to comply with. "We wanted to avoid at all costs the disclosure or use of the questions asked via this tool to re-train future models,” adds Mathieu Klimczak, Lead DevOps in the Data & Advanced Analytics department.

A few months later, the chatbot was tested with a panel of 300 employees, before being extended to all Group entities worldwide.
