This blog dives in to Evergreen Labs' journey of AI as our organization has started to embraced AI technology to amplify its social impact. Facing challenges in research efficiency, cross-cultural communication, and content creation, we partnered with AI expert Jack AM Austin for a transformative training session. This initiative introduced the team to powerful AI tools: Perplexity AI for research, ChatGPT for language barriers, and Claude for nuanced content creation. The results were remarkable, with AI adoption skyrocketing from 15.4% to 100% of the team, and 41.7% now using AI daily. This technological integration has not only boosted productivity but also enhanced our ability to develop innovative circular economy solutions, reach more communities, and tackle environmental challenges more effectively. Evergreen Labs sees this AI revolution as a stepping stone to creating greater social impact and encourages other social entrepreneurs to explore AI's potential in amplifying their own missions.
At Evergreen Labs, we've always been on a mission to build a better future. As a sustainable solutions company based in Singapore with offices in Vietnam and the Philippines, we're constantly looking for ways to amplify our impact. Recently, we embarked on an exciting journey that's changing the way we work - and we can't wait to share it with you.

But it's not just about the numbers. The real magic happened in our day-to-day work:
One of our team members, Kha Le, a Project Associate at Evergreen Labs, shared his experience:
"The daily work of a researcher requires us to spend a lot of time on other small tasks. Thanks to AI and the lessons from Jack, I have been able to solve unimportant and non urgent tasks more quickly and can save my time and free-mind for more important and highly focused tasks. As Jack said, 'We will not be replaced by AI, but we will be replaced by people who know how to use AI.'"
Kha's words perfectly capture the transformative power of AI in our daily operations. By automating routine tasks, we're freeing up our team's mental bandwidth for the creative, strategic work that drives real impact.
Here's where it gets really exciting. By accepting AI, we at Evergreen Labs aren't just working smarter – we're amplifying our impact on the world. With more time and creative energy, we're:
