The Big Story: OpenAI says AI saves average workers less than 1 hour/day

What Happened: OpenAI released its “State of Enterprise AI” report, surveying 9,000 workers across 100 companies. The headline number? Workers using ChatGPT Enterprise save only 40-60 minutes per day on average.

The Analysis:

  • The Gap: Heavy users (”frontier workers”) save 10+ hours per week, while average users save less than an hour daily. That’s a massive adoption gap between power users and everyone else.

  • Who’s Winning: Data science, engineering and communications roles reported the highest time savings at 60-80 minutes daily. Heavy users blend advanced models and multiple tools into custom workflows.

  • The “Fiddle” Factor: A major reason for the low time-savings is likely the time users spend “prompt engineering”. Tweaking, checking, and fixing AI outputs which eats into the efficiency gains.

The Takeaway: The productivity gains from AI are real, but they’re not automatic.

The question isn’t whether to use AI – it’s whether you’re using it in the right places for the right tasks.
