Summary: Cisco announced new Webex experiences built around digital teammates that can participate in spaces, meetings, and calls with shared team context. Examples include one agent gathering analytics while another updates a presentation, with identity, security, AI Defense guardrails, and Splunk telemetry around the workflow. Several capabilities are described as upcoming rather than universally available today.
Why it matters: Knowledge work rarely happens in a single prompt. Agents that can enter the same conversational context as a team, coordinate specialized steps, and remain visible to governance systems point toward AI that participates in ongoing work instead of sitting beside it.
