New Feature Alert: AI Collaborators
Workfront's new AI Collaborators let you assign AI agents to tasks inside the workflows you already run. You can now assign an AI Collaborator to a task just as you would a permissioned user, and Workfront automatically hands the agent the context it needs (the brief, the brand guidelines, the project details) then posts the finished work back to the task for you to review and approve. Nothing about your workflow changes.
A few things customers are already using it for: drafting on-brand copy, localizing approved content across markets, turning one campaign brief into several ad variations, and running compliance checks before work reaches an approver. And since it runs inside Workfront, your existing permissions, audit trails, and approval steps still apply.
It’s live now and best of all, AI Collaborators are included for all Workfront customers on Select, Prime and Ultimate packages at no additional cost. The setup takes just a few minutes. Watch the demo and create your first AI Collaborator today!
