Cisco Unveils New Agentic AI Collaboration Tools Across Webex, Workplaces and Customer Experience
Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) introduced a broad set of agentic AI capabilities across Webex, workplace infrastructure and customer experience, expanding its collaboration platform beyond traditional meetings and messaging.
The company said Webex will increasingly support AI agents that can work alongside employees, execute multi-step tasks and use shared enterprise context. New capabilities include Claude Managed Agents, which will allow teams to analyze data, generate content and coordinate actions directly inside Webex, as well as collaborative agents that can operate across Webex and third-party applications.
Cisco is also integrating Webex with OpenAI dots through the Model Context Protocol, enabling Webex context to flow into personal AI agents. The company emphasized enterprise controls around identity, security, governance and visibility to determine what AI agents can access and what actions they are permitted to take.
On the workplace side, Cisco unveiled Intelligent Workplace
Experiences, combining networking, collaboration devices, physical-space intelligence and digital experience assurance. New tools include Workplace Designer, Workplace Insights and RoomOS 27, which adds AI-powered room controls and support for Webex, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and native Google Meet. RoomOS 27 is expected to become available in November.
Company also introduced Dialog, a new agentic framework for the Webex AI Agent platform aimed at customer service. Dialog is designed to maintain persistent customer context, continue working after an interaction ends, coordinate across systems and agents, and improve its performance over time.
The announcements show Cisco positioning Webex as a broader enterprise AI platform rather than simply a communications product, combining collaboration, networking, security, observability and AI agents within a common architecture.
