Companies big and small are embracing a DIY approach to software.

With the help of AI, they're building tools that they could otherwise purchase from large enterprise software vendors like Workday, SAP, and Salesforce.

West Monroe, a Chicago-based consultancy, wanted a program that could check payroll for errors and another that could surface useful insights for managers about its roughly 2,000 employees.

Buying those capabilities from a vendor would have cost the company more than $300,000 a year, Tanya Moore, its chief people officer, estimated. To avoid that expense, employees built the software themselves earlier this year using OpenAI's ChatGPT and Codex, she said.

For employers seeking custom internal tools, the options used to be limited: Buy from a vendor or keep doing the work manually. Generative AI has created a third option.
