The company highlighted its collaboration with OpenAI and the consulting firm Bain & Company to experiment with ChatGPT and DALL-E “to enhance marketing capabilities and business operations and to build capabilities through cutting-edge [A.I.].”
Within a month of this partnership, Coca-Cola launched the “Create Real Magic” platform, which allowed consumers to create original artwork with assets from the company’s archives.

Coca-Cola said it was also experimenting with ways to leverage A.I. “to improve customer service and ordering as well as point-of-sale material creation in collaboration with its bottling partners.”
Amid the rapid rise of A.I., companies and employees alike are increasingly using A.I.-powered tools like ChatGPT for everyday operations.
