Wrike, the intelligent work management platform, has announced the general availability of Wrike AI Agents, moving AI from chat-based assistance into autonomous, workflow-embedded execution. These purpose-built intelligent agents handle repetitive tasks—generating reports, triaging requests, routing work, and more—freeing teams to focus on high-impact work. Early adopters report up to 10 hours saved per employee per week, equating to as much as 520 hours annually, with AI actions now representing 23% of platform traffic and weekly active AI users surging 4,900% during the preview phase.

  • Adoption highlights: 23% of AI traffic from agents, 53% AI penetration in enabled accounts, January 2026 AI actions nearly matching all of 2025.
  • Multi-Actions and Agent Chaining enable single agents to perform numerous steps or link multiple agents for sequential processes.
  • Enterprise-grade controls ensure only space admins can create/deploy agents, with full transparency into agent reasoning and actions.
  • Real-world impact demonstrated by customers in yearbook production, medical associations, and global manufacturing—replacing dozens of manual rules and heavy admin processes with intelligent automation.

From Preview to Production: Explosive Momentum

Following a successful preview at Wrike Collaborate 2025, Wrike AI Agents have seen unprecedented adoption. AI penetration jumped from 1% to 53% in enabled accounts, while agents now drive 23% of all AI activity on the platform. The surge reflects a clear market shift toward agentic collaborative work management, where AI actively participates in workflows rather than merely advising.

Thomas Scott, CEO of Wrike, stated: “Last year, we promised the future of human-to-AI collaboration. Today, we are delivering the reality. The market is fatigued by AI tools that look impressive in demos but fail to function inside complex enterprise environments. We’ve moved beyond the hype. Our customers aren't just ‘chatting’ with AI. They are deploying digital team members that understand their business context, adhere to their governance, and do the heavy lifting so their teams can focus on innovation.”

Customer Success Stories Highlight Real ROI

Early enterprise users across industries have already replaced manual processes and administrative overhead with Wrike AI Agents:

  • Varsity Yearbook simplified artist routing and eliminated 30 separate automation rules with a single intelligent agent, dramatically reducing mental load and improving scalability.
  • College of American Pathologists transformed innovation intake from heavy, form-driven processes to a simple free-text submission, with agents automatically parsing, scoring, and populating fields—shifting human effort to judgment and prioritization.
  • Bioworld International automated custom field population from task titles, cleaning up workspaces and freeing designers to focus on creative work.

Alexey Korotich, CPO at Wrike, noted: “We believe the people closest to the work are best equipped to optimize it. With Agent Builder, in minutes, admins can build agents for their teams that change assignees based on expertise, trigger sophisticated multi-step automations, and more. We are excited about this shift to agentic collaborative work management, where our platform evolves with our customers to drive quantifiable ROI within their workflows.”

Enterprise Trust and Governance Built In

Wrike AI Agents operate under strict controls: only space admins can create or deploy agents, all actions are fully transparent with visible reasoning, and the platform eliminates the “black box” problem common in other AI tools. This governance-first approach ensures organizations can confidently scale agentic capabilities without compromising security or compliance.
