Should my team use this?
A short read for managers deciding whether to invest team time and licenses.
The short version
AI tools are already inside Qvantum's M365 environment. Every employee can use Copilot today; Claude is available on a smaller, paid-license basis for harder work. The cost is real but bounded. The upside depends on whether your team uses it for the right tasks — not all work benefits.
What this is — and isn't
Useful for:
- Drafting and editing internal documents.
- Summarising long content (meeting notes, specs, customer threads).
- Asking questions about pasted content.
- First-draft code, first-draft analysis, first-draft anything where the human edits the output.
- Reasoning over structured inputs (XML, JSON, tables).
Not useful for:
- Anything where being wrong has high cost and no human checks the output.
- Anything requiring real-time internal data the tool hasn't been given (it won't read Qnet, PM Portal, or your inbox unless explicitly connected).
- Replacing domain expertise. The output quality depends entirely on what you give it.
What it costs
Copilot: [FILL: Confirm whether Copilot is included in current M365 licenses for Qvantum, or if it's a separate per-seat add-on. Per-seat cost from Petter.]
Claude: [FILL: Per-seat license cost. Confirm with Alenka or Johan. Note current license count and who has them.]
No-cost option: Every Qvantum employee can use Copilot today at no incremental cost (assuming bundling above).
What's already working here
Real examples from colleagues:
- R&D — XML tool built with Claude. [FILL: one-sentence outcome, e.g. "Saved ~3 hours per week on supplier-data conversion."] See the page.
- Operations — NPI step-by-step. Coming soon (post-Federico meeting, week of 2026-05-22).
- IT — Internal search across Qnet / PM Portal. Under investigation.
If you want your team to try this
A small, structured approach beats a free-for-all:
- Pick one task. Something your team does often, that has clear inputs and outputs, and where being slightly wrong is recoverable.
- One person prototypes. They try Copilot or request a Claude license; spend a few hours figuring out a prompt that works.
- Share it. They submit it as a use case. The whole team can then use the same approach.
- Measure. After 2–4 weeks, ask: did this save time, change quality, or neither? Adjust.
For larger ambitions — say, "I want my whole team using AI for X by end of quarter" — we recommend a workshop / "Claude coaching" session. Contact Jacob to set one up.
Risks
- Confidentiality. [FILL: short statement about Qvantum's M365 data boundary for Copilot and the equivalent for Claude. Confirm wording with Petter/IT.]
- Wrong answers, confidently delivered. AI tools sometimes invent facts. Anything that goes to a customer, regulator, or production system needs human review.
- Over-reliance. New employees who use AI from day one may not develop the judgment to spot when it's wrong. Pair AI use with mentoring on what the output should look like.
- External sharing. Treat output as internal Qvantum work. Don't paste it into public AI tools or share externally without checking.
