Work Frustration Rant - AI, but not for you

Thanks for a place to vent :)

The company I work for is an industry specific hardware and SaaS company. The corporate heads are preaching embrace AI. I have used AI to make Python tools our hole department (half QA half field tech support) and field techs use.

All done without a premium subscription to anything. No local files or memory. just good prompting.

The company set up an AI Committee, set out rules and people to ask for permissions. I have written evidence of what I have done and plans for the future. I hear nothing back. Not a refusal, nothing...

I am building tools that talk to Jira, Smartsheets, Confluence, 2 separate internal APIs. building the hard coded infrastructure that we could lay agents on and increase efficiency of supporting a product that is leading the industry. Silence.

Why I am hear. I am learning and building in my spare time and enjoying it. I am trying to embrace the future that the company claims to. They will miss me when I am gone.
