  "account": "Asana CEO Dan Rogers relies on AI agents to manage his workday, which includes steering his calendar and inbox, tracking customer relationships, and monitoring the company's performance. These workplace agents, unlike personal ones, are trained in institutional knowledge and can safely handle sensitive data. Rogers says the agents need detailed instructions to provide real value, as he discovered when a competitor-tracking agent initially focused on irrelevant information. His routine involves three main agents: a productivity team that plans his day based on his priorities, a customer whisperer that identifies customer concerns and complaints, a sales coach that answers employees' questions about the company's products, a business analyst that monitors Asana's performance and generates reports, a competitive-intelligence analyst that tracks rival companies, and an engineering project manager that assigns engineering tasks efficiently. While these agents require some effort to customize and adapt, they provide Rogers with valuable insights and information, allowing him to focus on higher-level tasks and make proactive decisions.",
