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

The discussion focuses on how Codex is being applied 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 emphasise the importance of moving quickly from experimentation into scalable production use cases. They highlight real examples where AI reduced work estimated to take several weeks down to just a few days, demonstrating how AI can significantly expand organisational capability and productivity.
