💼 OpenAI: Enterprise AI Shifts from Assistance to Autonomous Task Execution

According to the Enterprise Signals reports and the How Organizations Use AI working paper based on 10 million messages: by June 2026, Codex generated 64% of all output tokens among enterprise clients. Growth in weekly users since February — legal department 108 times, sales and recruiting 41, marketing 26, engineering 5. The top 10% of companies generate 8.3 times more tokens per user.

🌍 AI is shifting from assistance to agentic workflows — autonomous execution of multi-step tasks. Leaders more frequently use plugins (21% vs 9%) and skills (19% vs 3%).

👤 The report shows benchmarks for AI implementation: the greatest growth is not in engineering, but in legal, sales, and marketing.
