# BNY Deploys Enterprise-Wide AI Platform Powered by OpenAI, Reaching 20,000+ Employees

OpenAI announced that BNY (Bank of New York Mellon) has successfully scaled artificial intelligence across its entire organization through a platform called Eliza, enabling more than 20,000 employees to build custom AI agents.

The initiative represents BNY's "AI for everyone, everywhere" strategy, moving beyond limited pilot programs to enterprise-wide adoption. Through the Eliza platform, employees across different departments can create their own AI agents tailored to specific tasks, aiming to boost both operational efficiency and client service quality.

This deployment is significant for several reasons. First, it demonstrates how large financial institutions are moving from experimental AI projects to full-scale implementation. Rather than restricting AI tools to technical teams, BNY is democratizing access across its workforce, allowing employees at all levels to leverage the technology
