This weekly update focuses on how agentic AI is changing the way workers do their jobs and organize their weeks. Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence that can think and act on its own to help people with their work.

New research shows that agentic AI is reshaping the workweek in surprising ways. Instead of having meetings spread throughout the week, teams are now moving meetings to the middle of the week. This means employees can focus on important work on Mondays and Fridays without interruptions. Companies using agentic AI have reduced meetings by 20% and are getting more work done.

Workers are also using AI tools more than ever before. Almost 47% of workers are now using AI at least once a month to help with their jobs, which is a big jump from 34% just one year ago. About 70% of workers say they want AI to do even more, like helping them remember tasks, schedule meetings, and organize their day.

However, not everything feels positive. About one in five workers feel pressured by their bosses to use AI, and many worry they will fall behind if they don't. The good news is that agentic AI is not replacing workers—instead, it is helping them focus on the work that really matters and making their jobs less stressful.

Companies are starting to understand that agentic AI works best when it helps teams work together better, not just when it helps one person work faster. When teams use AI as a smart helper, they become twice as productive and six times more focused on what matters most.
