Digital Assistant Tool WorkBoard Goes Live with AI-Powered Chief of Staff and Leadership Coach Agents, Enhancing Microsoft 365 Copilot Functionality

Unleashing WorkBoardAI's Digital Chief of Staff and Leadership Coach Agents

Say goodbye to the days of juggling strategy execution and the ever-growing list of managerial tasks! WorkBoard Inc., the mastermind behind the renowned enterprise strategy execution and Objectives and Key Results (OKR) platform, WorkBoardAI, has just taken a giant leap forward. They've released their Digital Chief of Staff and Leadership Coach agents, revolutionizing the way enterprises manage their operations.

These game-changing agents are now at your fingertips, promising to catapult managers to new heights of productivity and strategic alignment. Effective managers are the backbone of any organization, and these agents ensure they shine brighter than ever before. While only the top 2% of leaders may have had a chief of staff or executive coach, with WorkBoardAI, the other 98% can now benefit from these resources, tripling their competency and productivity [1].

Driven by deep context of your company strategy, ever-changing priorities, organizational structure, team member responsibilities, current objectives, and past performance, the Digital Chief of Staff is a proactive powerhouse. It establishes strategic alignment, creates robust team operating routines, and reinforces accountability on your behalf. On the other hand, the Leadership Coach agent is your confidant in navigating tough conversations, becoming a better coach, and honing your leadership skills [1][2].

Unlike their chit-chat counterparts, these agents know your world like the back of their hand. They understand your strategic priorities, and with this continuous context, their insights and actions are firmly rooted in your reality [1]. Let them orchestrate OKR alignment and accountability for you, manage your meeting and reporting cadence, suggest crucial follow-through, and take follow-up actions when directed, all to improve your execution quality and speed [2].

They’ll identify where feedback is needed, suggest messages, and guide you through difficult conversations to quickly address team friction. Before crucial 1on1s and operational meetings, they'll prepare you by providing the facts, issues, and talking points, maximizing your time and progress. They're also your thought partner when it comes to strategizing, operational issues, and team dynamics [2].

"The Digital Chief of Staff and Leadership Coach agents are a force multiplier that helps managers operate at a more strategic level and marshal resources more effectively," said Erik Huddleston, CEO, Aprimo [2]. Now, managers can operate at a strategic advantage, thanks to these innovative agents.

Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent:

The brilliant minds at WorkBoardAI didn't stop there. They unveiled new features in their Microsoft 365 Copilot agent too, integration never felt so intelligent! With these updates, you can align and drive OKRs right from Copilot in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, accelerating execution across your organization.

OKR Suggestions: Based on your teams, the agent now presents relevant OKRs to kickstart your goal-setting process, making it easy to draft aligned and impactful objectives.
Update Key Results: The agent now highlights overdue key results and offers one-click access to update them directly in WorkBoard, helping you stay on track and minimize slippage [3].

These additions streamline the alignment and execution of OKRs directly within Copilot, reducing friction and speeding up execution across your organization.

Modern Architecture in the Agent Ecosystem:

WorkBoardAI is leading the charge in open, interoperable AI by adopting modern protocols like Agent-to-Agent (A2A) and Multi-Agent Communication (MCP) protocols. These vendor-neutral standards are embraced by Microsoft and Google, enabling agents to communicate and coordinate securely across platforms, making WorkBoardAI a key player in multi-agent workflows [4].

With conversational AI, agentic orchestration, and deep integration across enterprise platforms, WorkBoardAI is making it easier for organizations to align on strategy, drive progress, and adapt faster in our ever-evolving world.

"Our agents learn from their managers and become more helpful over time, just like a human team member would," said Daryoush Paknad, WorkBoard’s CTO and Co-founder [4]. Combining these capabilities promises to bridge skill gaps, save time, and connect disparate enterprise systems to profoundly improve the way organizations operate. [1][2][3][4]

WorkBoardAI is now accessible via the Azure Marketplace, and their Copilot agent is rapidly leveling up its skills to bring strategic priorities into your daily routine across M365 applications. The Copilot agent was spotlighted in Satya Nadella's keynote at Microsoft Build 2025 and is available in the new Microsoft Agent Store [5].
