Our Take
An OpenAI engineer is building internal tools that help companies surface products to buyers and assist sales workflows using GPT-based systems.
The notable signal: OpenAI using its own API for scoped sales tooling, not open-ended generation. GPT-4o performs best on repeatable, constrained tasks — buyer matching, CRM enrichment, qualification scoring. Teams burning inference cost on unstructured generation pipelines are likely paying for model capability they're not extracting. Most AI integration ROI sits in the narrow, boring use cases.
What To Do
Scope GPT-4o prompts to structured, repeatable tasks like CRM enrichment instead of open-ended generation because constrained prompts yield higher completion rates at materially lower token cost.

What Skeptics Say
