SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 2, 2025 – Artificial intelligence is no longer a concept of tomorrow—at Kellanova, it’s shaping today’s workplace in exciting and tangible ways. From smart tools that anticipate your needs to virtual assistants enhancing creativity and collaboration, the company is putting people and innovation at the center of its AI journey.
With a clear mission to make work more intuitive and fulfilling, Kellanova is using AI to boost productivity, improve data use, and create more meaningful digital experiences for employees everywhere.
Enhancing Everyday Work with Smart AI Tools
Imagine starting your day with a digital assistant that understands your schedule, recommends breaks, and even helps you prep for meetings before you ask. That’s already becoming reality at Kellanova, where employees are embracing the power of Copilot, an AI-powered work companion.
This tool supports tasks like:
- Researching complex topics
- Brainstorming creative ideas
- Drafting initial versions of documents
Kellanova encourages a "test-and-learn" culture by offering voluntary “Kuriosity Clinics” to explore generative AI. These sessions have drawn over 10,000 participants. As Kellanova’s Global CTO Ramesh Kollepara explained, “It’s an exciting time to be in IT and in business as AI, whether it is Gen AI or more recent agentic AI variations, continues to rapidly evolve, bringing new opportunities to unleash our potential for growth be it accelerating speed to market, driving new product development or fostering creativity and innovation.”
Using Better Data to Connect with Consumers
Kellanova’s AI-driven strategy is also changing how the company connects with consumers. Their “Better Data, Bigger Possibilities” approach centers on transparency and collaboration, aiming to drive real value through smarter data use.
Recent initiatives include:
- Pringles Poptopia: Each Pringles can features a QR code that unlocks exclusive digital content—boosting engagement and increasing first-party data by 30%.
- Smarter Targeting: Using clean room technology, Kellanova blends purchase data, attitudes, and demographics to reach high-value audiences more effectively.
- ROOTs Program: This initiative is transforming finance with reusable data models and strategic insight.
Loretta Franks, Kellanova’s Chief Data and Analytics Officer, emphasized the value of this innovation, saying, “Our Bigger Data, Better Possibilities Framework and enterprise-wide 'Kortex' data and analytics technology platform have been central to ensuring Kellanova's IT team is at the forefront of cutting-edge technologies, data, analytics and AI strategies that drive value, differentiate our brands, enhance processes and improve consumer and customer experiences.”
Boosting Efficiency and Collaboration with Predictive Technologies
Kellanova is also making strides in workplace productivity by using digital twins and assisted reality tools. These technologies allow teams to test new ideas and collaborate globally in real-time, without disrupting workflows.
Highlights include:
- Testing production setups virtually to optimize new Pringles packaging in Europe.
- Empowering R&D teams with RealWear Navigator 520 headsets for live innovation sharing.
- Equipping factory operators with handheld tablets to access real-time performance data.
These initiatives are not only making work more efficient but also enabling teams to innovate boldly. Kellanova is now rolling out AI agents across multiple business areas, moving from experimentation to real-world impact.
Creating a Human-Centered Digital Workplace
At its core, Kellanova’s vision for the future of work is centered on people. By democratizing access to AI tools and encouraging continuous learning, the company is giving employees the confidence and ability to harness AI for better outcomes.
