The 2025 edition of the renowned Mary Meeker AI Report (340 slides!) makes one thing clear: AI isn’t just changing individual tools—it’s transforming the way we work. Especially in the digital workplace, such as the intranet, a new era has begun. Here’s what that means for organizations.
1. Agents Instead of Chatbots
Modern intranets are adopting agentic AI—systems that carry out tasks autonomously, from auto-distributing emails to summarizing meetings. These agents work proactively and execute workflows without requiring manual input.
2. More Output Through AI Collaboration
AI is no longer just an assistant—it multiplies individual productivity. Intranet features can analyze documents, extract keywords, and auto-generate reports—in a matter of seconds.
3. Speed Delivers Value
Users expect real-time answers—whether it’s for search queries or document generation. Tools that deliver value quickly (within five minutes or less) are becoming critical.
4. Transparency Builds Trust
AI must not be invisible. AI-generated content within the intranet should be clearly labeled and traceable. This builds trust and avoids misunderstandings.
5. Deep Integration Over Surface Features
The key is seamless integration: AI should support users directly where they work—within search, workflows, and content creation—not just as a detached add-on.
6. Managing AI, Not Just Clicking It
Agents need guidance. Prompts must be optimized, performance monitored, and content quality reviewed—just like managing a small, specialized team.
Conclusion
The digital workplace of the future means smart collaboration with AI agents. Intranets are evolving into productive assistant platforms that offer real-time help, generate content, automate processes, and remain transparent. Those who embrace these changes early gain a clear competitive advantage—and turn digital work into truly smart work.
