Russell Goodenough, head of AI within CGI’s UK operations, speaks with Pierre-Antoine Porte, a Codex solutions engineer at OpenAI, about the growing collaboration between CGI and OpenAI and the evolving role of AI in engineering teams. Pierre-Antoine reflects on the strong curiosity and willingness to experiment among CGI teams, describing this mindset as essential for adapting to rapidly changing AI capabilities and workflows.

The discussion focuses on the application of Codex beyond software development into areas such as project management, reporting, and process mapping. By connecting AI tools to internal systems and workflows, teams are finding new ways to automate and accelerate everyday tasks.

Russell and Pierre-Antoine also emphasize the importance of moving quickly from experimentation into scalable production use cases. They highlight real-world examples of how AI has reduced estimated work timeframes from several weeks to just a few days, demonstrating how AI can significantly expand organizational capability and productivity.
