In an exciting development at a recent event, a leading productivity platform introduced its innovative AI agents designed to revolutionize data analysis and task automation. These agents promise to streamline workflows by leveraging user data to generate insightful notes and analyses, making them invaluable for meetings, competitor assessments, and feedback collection.
The platform’s new AI agents are capable of creating and updating pages and databases with ease. Users can initiate these agents from various external applications linked to the service, allowing for seamless integration. For example, one can instruct the AI agent to compile a bug-tracking dashboard by aggregating information from platforms like Slack, email, and Google Drive.
The newly launched AI agent builds upon the existing AI capabilities of the platform, which previously focused on content searching and summarization. The new agent, however, is designed to handle more intricate, multi-step tasks, showcasing the advanced capabilities of agentic AI. According to the company, the current iteration of the agent can execute tasks that span up to 20 minutes across numerous pages.
Users have the option to create a dedicated “profile” page for the agent, allowing them to provide specific instructions regarding source referencing, output style, and task updates. Additionally, users can request the agent to retain important points for future reference. These memories will be stored on the profile page, where users can modify them as needed.
In demonstration videos, the company showcased various applications of the agents, including providing feedback for landing pages, creating a restaurant tracker, generating analyses from meeting notes, and preparing competitive analysis reports. Currently, users must manually trigger these actions, but the company has announced plans to introduce customizable agents that can operate on schedules or specific triggers in the near future. A template library for agents will also be made available, offering pre-made prompts tailored to various tasks.
Over the past two years, the platform has rolled out several features, including a calendar application, an email client, and a meeting note-taker, all of which have contributed to the development of these automation capabilities. Other enterprise knowledge and productivity platforms have also launched their own agents to facilitate information extraction and updates, indicating a growing trend in the industry.
Stay tuned for more updates as this technology continues to evolve and enhance productivity across various sectors.
