Unanimous AI, the world leader in hyper-communication and amplified group intelligence, today announced launch of (Co)agents, a new product poised to redefine future of enterprise collaboration. Designed to participate as authentic teammates in real-time group discussions, (Co)agents are collaborative coworkers that actively follow live conversations by text, voice, or video and strategically jump in with helpful information exactly when group needs it.
Built within Unanimous AI's patented Hyperchat AI engine, (Co)agents are AI coworkers that participate in real-time group discussions by proactively surfacing information and reasoning that human teams need to make smarter, faster, more informed decisions.
In traditional meetings, important decisions are often made using only knowledge and insights that happen to be in room at moment. Vital information often remains trapped in corporate databases, scattered across internet, or possessed by stakeholders not in room. By time team member leaves discussion to search for answers, conversation has already moved on.
(Co)agents solve this bottleneck by closing knowledge gap from inside meetings. They are designed to support real-world business activities, from brainstorming and forecasting to evaluations and problem-solving. Unlike old-school chatbots that wait passively to be asked question, (Co)agents are active participants that observe group's deliberation as it unfolds, identifying gaps in knowledge or reasoning, and contributing relevant insights. And because they are powered by Unanimous' patented Hyperchat AI technology, (Co)agents can coordinate across communication channels, seeking and sharing insights from stakeholders across any organization.
"We reinvented what it means to collaborate in modern workplace," said Dr. Louis Rosenberg, CEO and Chief Scientist of Unanimous AI. "With (Co)agents, we bring proactive AI coworkers into dynamic flow of team meetings, delivering thoughtful insights with skillful group etiquette. (Co)agents don't just answer questions, they join discourse, anticipating needs, challenging assumptions, and ensuring teams have critical information necessary to make well-informed decisions."
(Co)agents offer three distinct types of contribution to supercharge human teams: Knowledge (Co)agents proactively leverage organizational data sources to surface information reasoning or evidence most relevant useful to ongoing discussion. Scouting (Co)agents look outward searching beyond organization to retrieve and express current up-to-the-minute information from open internet during live discussions. Brainstorming (Co)agents designed to generate original contributions serve as creative catalysts introducing unique but relevant alternatives team has not yet considered.
Published research from Unanimous AI demonstrates human teams deliberating in collaboration with interactive (Co)agents achieve better outcomes, enabling stakeholders to make smarter, faster decisions. In 2024 study conducted by Unanimous AI and Carnegie Mellon University, 87% of human forecasters reported decisions were stronger because of real-time information provided by AI agents.
In more recent study, (Co)agents evaluated in large-scale forecasting task in which 80 human participants and 20 proactive (Co)agents debated 2026 World Cup and collaboratively predicted outcome. Results showed human-AI teams achieved strong predictive accuracy correctly forecasting Spain as tournament champion identifying Norway as dark-horse contender capable of reaching Quarterfinals and accurately predicting Germany's early tournament upset.
Post-session evaluations revealed forecasters overwhelmingly appreciated contributions provided by (Co)agents, with 90.9% participants reporting proactive (Co)agents were helpful to group deliberations and 98.7% rated agentic contributions as clear and concise. In addition, 85.7% praised timeliness of agents' autonomous interjections without disrupting conversational flow, leading 87.0% to conclude proactive (Co)agents will become vital tools for human teams in enterprise settings.
Unanimous AI was founded in 2014 with mission of keeping humans in loop ensuring AI technologies amplify human intelligence rather than replace it. (Co)agents were designed to support this goal – informing teams without replacing human stakeholders. All (Co)agent contributions are visible, attributed, auditable, and open to challenge by any human participant.
