Case Study
Oxygen achieves massive company-wide productivity increase through AI (GPT-4) integration
As pioneers in the tech space, Oxygen quickly recognised the untapped potential of OpenAI's GPT-4, not just in English but also in Mandarin and Cantonese. This case study delves deep into Oxygen's accelerated adoption of GPT-4, how we reshaped our content creation dynamics, supercharging efficiencies and how we are setting a benchmark for the industry in the region.
How we facilitated learning and adoption
1. Business-wide access to the best tools
2. Group training sessions
Each month, we ran multiple AI training sessions via video call and in-person during our team events. These started quite basic, on understanding prompts and how to use the interface… eventually progressing to be more advanced, covering topics like token limits, code interpreter mode and mermaid coding via GPT.
3. Company-wide buy-in
4. AI Charter
5. AI Certification Program
Project Management Data
The data on the right is a raw export from our project management system. We looked at hundreds of separate tasks and thousands of collective hours logged to get this data. We focused on one of our core deliverables, which, while sold often, has rarely been profitable. While the below example is just one of many deliverables at Oxygen, further digging into the data showed similar (if not better) results for other tasks.
Average time logged per specific deliverable
we found that AI training and implementation led to a 48.5% reduction in time spent on one of our core services.

Quantitative Results
Metric: Time spent brainstorming content ideas each week
There was an increase of approximately 26.6% in respondents who spent "less than 5 hours" each week brainstorming content after the AI implementation compared to before.
Metric: Time spent creating written content each week
There was an increase of approximately 26.8% in respondents who spent "less than 5 hours" creating written content each week after the AI implementation compared to before.
Metric: How often do you feel overwhelmed with work?
There was a decrease of approximately 49% in the respondents who said they 'often' feel overwhelmed after AI implementation compared to before.
Qualitative Results
Not satisfied with the results purely from a time-saving perspective, our team was also surveyed on their confidence in creating their own quality content and the quality of their teammate’s work since AI implementation.
Note that responses for this survey are from a highly self-aware team that are always seeking to improve their writing skills.
Metric: Confidence level in creating high-quality written content without peer review
| Before AI | After AI | |
|---|---|---|
| Extremely Confident | 5.3% | 6.7% |
| Somewhat Confident | 52.6% | 53.3% |
| Unsure | 26.3% | 33.3% |
| Not that confident | 15.8% | 6.7% |
Metric: Confidence in colleagues’ ability to create high-quality written content without peer review
| Before AI | After AI | |
|---|---|---|
| Extremely Confident | 5.3% | 6.7% |
| Somewhat Confident | 52.6% | 73.3% |
| Unsure | 42.1% | 20% |

Impact on the team
What Our Team Are Saying
Our commitment to AI implementation shines through as we continually better ourselves and strive to give our clients the best service.
AI has greatly impacted my role in HR, enabling me to create growth paths, training plans, and L&D strategies more efficiently. It has also allowed me to provide better recommendations and strategic plans as AI can analyse a situation or data much faster than I can.

HRBP
ChatGPT has improved my writing skills and has been able to produce high-quality, multi-angle content efficiently. It has dramatically improved my work efficiency.
Sammy
Junior Marketing Executive
Before, I executed the work and used technology to review the output. Now technology executes the work, and I review the output.
Oliver
Associate Strategist
It has definitely changed the way I perceived my role. Every role today is replaceable by anyone who is abreast with the latest AI tech. In the coming year, there are only two ways to sustain - Stay Relevant or Vanish.

Key learnings & challenges
- Practical use of the tools and peer review of output was the fastest driver of AI adoption and proficiency. Teams could quickly compare results and help colleagues find flaws and solutions by using AI. Review sessions were an important part of this and without oversight from management, this wouldn’t have happened so quickly.
- Only giving teams access to the tools is not enough. After suggesting that many of our clients start using ChatGPT, we found that the quality of their output decreased as they didn’t have sufficient training to get good results or even to benchmark what a good result might be. Teams must understand how to use the AI tools, and which tasks might not be appropriate for automation in this way, in order to get an optimal result.
- Management should never penalise someone for just using ChatGPT for a task. But must always penalise someone if the quality of that output is not good enough. Ultimately, they are responsible for that output, and a response like “Well, that’s what ChatGPT gave me” will not suffice.
