McKinsey's Firmwide Knowledge Copilot "Lilli"
McKinsey launched Lilli, a generative-AI platform that provides streamlined, impartial search and synthesis of the firm's internal knowledge to help consultants build client engagement plans. The firm's intellectual property spans more than 40 curated knowledge sources today, and McKinsey said there will be more than 100,000 documents and interview transcripts of internal and third-party content in the future. A user asks a question and Lilli scans the firm's knowledge base, surfaces five to seven of the most relevant pieces of content, summarizes key points, and identifies subject-matter experts. McKinsey piloted Lilli with real users and was scaling it from an initial team of three to more than 70 experts, aiming to reach thousands of colleagues by the end of the year.

ADT embraces Oracle AI to improve onboarding and enhance workforce insights
ADT, the smart home security provider that hires more than 5,000 new employees annually, deployed Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM's embedded AI features, including the Onboarding Assistant AI agent, which gives new hires guided, step-by-step, 24/7 support through onboarding, and author-assistance AI for performance management and goal setting.

ADT reports managers are saving two to three hours per direct report on performance evaluations and goal setting, amounting to a full week regained per year in some cases, plus more consistent onboarding and reduced HR support ticket volume.
