Dairyland Power Cooperative introduced VoltWrite, a generative AI platform, to streamline operations and inspire creativity among staff. Announced by CIO Nate Melby at the NRECA TechAdvantage Conference, VoltWrite has helped employees to improve efficiency across departments, from administrative tasks to technical projects. The tool saw significant adoption and rapid integration of new AI applications, with weekly updates being reported by Summer 2024. The fast pace of innovation reflects a departure from traditional IT timelines, demonstrating the platform's effectiveness in enhancing cooperative operations in the rural electric industry.
"Here at TechAdvantage, we wanted to share that with our cooperative world. If you want to talk about VoltWrite as a way to level up your co ops like we've leveled up ours, we want to help you with that."
"Once staffers got their hands on the system two years ago, it set off a burst of creativity. Many employees looked at the sundry, often-repetitive tasks they carried out regularly and began using the technology to invent new and faster routines."
"I come from corporate IT business applications. We're used to maybe six months to a year. In some cases, development was moving so quickly that new models were becoming obsolete within weeks."
