Enterprise Chat Roadmap
Our mission
Enterprise Chat bridges the gap between the many data sources Empower supports and the everyday conversations of working professionals. Our platform enables knowledge workers to do more with their data.
Personas
- Knowledge worker – the knowledge worker has heard of ChatGPT and has thought about using in their day to day, or uses multiple times per day. He is a working professional, working as a software engineer, a marketer, a salesman, or another white collar job.
- Chat admin – the chat admin runs a team of 25+ knowledge workers. She has purchasing power, enough to spend $1,000 per month on experimenting with new tools such as ChatGPT. She looks for opportunities to use AI.
- IT admin – sole purpose is to 1-click approve access to AAD graph permissions.
