OpenAI's Kaitlin MacRae and Matt Lewis

from Building What's Next · host Altimetrik

In the premiere episode of Building What’s Next, OpenAI’s Kaitlin MacRae, Partnerships Director, and Matt Lewis, GTM Partner Director, join Altimetrik's Peter Weingard for a conversation about how enterprises are deploying AI today, beyond the hype and into the realities of adoption and scale.We explore the shift from AI pilots to AI in the right workflows, and why enterprise-wide adoption is critical to ROI, the role of the new OpenAI Partner Network, and what could be next for voice, hardware, and how we interact with AI. They also dig into why enterprises often default to building custom AI solutions when capabilities may already exist within tools like ChatGPT and Codex, and why adoption, not simply access, is ultimately what drives ROI.Plus, hear why “tokenmaxxing” is giving way to more structured, business-unit-level AI strategies, and where OpenAI sees the technology heading next, from voice-powered workflows to a future that may extend beyond the phone.https://www.altimetrik.com/podcasts/https://www.altimetrik.com/contact/
