AI helps a small team build bigger
Gondola, a platform designed to help creatives get credit for their work and get hired, is using OpenAI tools to move faster with a lean team. According to OpenAI’s customer story, Codex raised the company’s lead engineer’s output by 50%, helping the team ship more while staying focused.
The impact goes beyond engineering. Gondola also uses ChatGPT to simplify day-to-day work, reducing friction in routine tasks and freeing the team to spend more time on product development, customer needs, and growth.
That added leverage is translating into business results: Gondola reports that it has doubled revenue as its team builds more with AI. For startups and small companies, this is a clear example of how AI can act as a force multiplier rather than just another software tool.
- 50% more engineering output for Gondola’s lead engineer with Codex.
- Faster daily workflows supported by ChatGPT.
- Revenue doubled as AI helped the team execute more effectively.
