Powered by the Work Intelligence® Graph, Wrike unites people and AI by combining Strategic Portfolio Management, deep MCP support, enterprise AI governance, and autonomous AI Workmates.
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wrike, the trusted work delivery platform for people and AI, today announced at Wrike Collaborate 2026 a category-defining evolution in how work is planned, executed, and optimized across the enterprise. Wrike is uniting human expertise with autonomous AI capabilities built upon its underlying Work Intelligence Graph architecture.
As organizations shift from using passive AI assistants toward autonomous execution, Wrike provides the structured operational backbone, the governance layer, and real-time data visibility required for AI agents to operate alongside human teams and accelerate strategy, delivery, and learning.
“Most enterprise AI fails because it operates in a vacuum, generating content without understanding how work actually gets strategized, planned, and delivered," said Alexey Korotich, Chief Product Officer at Wrike. "As companies scale their AI investments, the core challenge is its contextual execution and governance. By anchoring AI agents, both on and off-platform, to our Work Intelligence Graph and via open Model Context Protocol, we give them the operational context of the entire business. That allows AI Workmates to take on heavy administrative work while keeping humans firmly in control.”
Available Today: Intelligent Orchestration from Strategy to Execution
Connecting executive vision to day-to-day execution, Wrike delivers an enterprise-grade operational foundation that unifies AI governance and external agent integrations with deep portfolio management and advanced platform capabilities:
- “Bring Your Own” Agents: Enables companies to integrate their custom, proprietary AI agents directly into Wrike as active team members complete with enterprise guardrails, role based permissions, full audit trails, and mandatory human validation checkpoints.
- Wrike MCP Server with extended tools: Allows external AI assistants and third-party agents to safely and efficiently read, write, and visualize enterprise work across connected ecosystems.
- Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM): Wrike SPM, powered by Shibumi®, provides leaders with AI-driven planning, dynamic scenario modeling, and automated value realization connecting high-level strategy directly to daily execution data.
- Work Intelligence Graph and Platform: Adds portfolio-level Gantt views with cross-project dependencies, cascading custom fields, workflow governance, and customizable whitelabel executive dashboards.
Coming Soon: The “Project Manager Workmate”
To remove the administrative friction cluttering modern workdays, Wrike is introducing Workmates. These are role-specific AI agents that can manage projects, provide immediate on task assistance and deliver work with humans in the loop.
Leading this upcoming rollout is the Project Manager Workmate, which drives execution of projects and programs across four specialized operational areas:
- Work Intake: Converts unstructured briefs and whiteboard brainstorms directly into structured project plans and Gantt timelines.
- Resource Allocation: Generates balanced staffing proposals for whole projects, factoring in real-time workloads, skill sets, and regional schedules of employees.
- Meeting Intelligence: Turns meeting transcripts into action items and status updates and matches them with the ongoing projects.
- Risk Monitoring: Scans critical paths, baselines, and discussion threads flagging downstream project delays and serving root cause reports to project managers.
Project Manager Workmate and Wrike Workmates will be rolling out in phases later this year.
The Vision Ahead: Self-Healing Workflows
Looking to the future, Wrike outlined its vision for self-healing workflows in the enterprise. Leveraging the Work Intelligence Graph, Wrike AI will automatically identify operational bottlenecks and with human oversight will implement improvements in the workflows to resolve them.
Wrike showcased how by analyzing real-world outcomes, its visionary AI platform will proactively suggest capacity-baseline adjustments for portfolio managers, optimize intake forms for program leaders, and refine AI Workmate behaviors based on continuous human feedback.
