Does your Teenager’s Bedroom Look Like This?

Let’s be honest: your company’s data probably looks more like a teenager’s bedroom than Marie Kondo’s closet.

Data is scattered everywhere making even simple searches a frustrating, time consuming hunt. Knowledge management? It’s a valiant effort but the sheer volume of data makes it feel like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Instead of bringing you joy, your data brings frustration. Agentspace changes that.

Agentspace aims to spark joy with your data, saving you time because of these 3 features.

Google Quality Search Across All your Data Sources

Who does search better than Google?

Inside companies, finding information is hard. Data is lost in silos, buried in folders, or scattered across countless systems. Agentspace leverages the power of Google Search but re-imagines it for the enterprise. It indexes, ranks, and understands the relationships between all your connected data sources so you get fast, relevant search results.

Many will begin their Agentspace journey with search — a search experience as intuitive and familiar as Google Search but tailored to a company’s unique data landscape.

Pre-Built Connectors

Agentspace isn’t just another integration platform, it’s a unified workspace.

Agentspace offers pre-built connectors for many common applications so you can plug-and-play Agentspace into your environment. And for edge cases? Custom connectors let you tailor Agentspace to your unique application ecosystem. Imagine no more tab juggling, no more password fatigue, no more data silos. Ask Agentspace a question and it taps into your your connected data sources, leverages the power of Google Gemini, and delivers answers in the same browser window. Your questions, your data, your workflow, all in one place.

Agentspace works across your applications, not within them — a horizontal layer of intelligence.

Actionability

Agentspace is not just a passive observer of your data, it’s also an active participant in your workflows.

Imagine you’re a sales professional researching a potential client. Agentspace, connected to Salesforce and your favorite news sources, automatically surfaces the latest industry news and suggests personalized engagement strategies. But it goes further. Agentspace, connected to your email system, drafts a personalized outreach email incorporating those insights, ready for your review and send.

Agentspace doesn’t just surface your data, it takes action with it.

Conclusion

According to this often cited McKinsey report from 2012, employees spend an average of 1.8 hours per day searching and gathering information which translates to roughly 9.3 hours per week.

Every hour reclaimed represents a significant cost reduction and opportunity for enhanced productivity. Agentspace offers the potential to improve internal search, break down data silos, and take action on your data. Save time and free up brain space for higher-level strategic thinking.

Agentspace is the key to unlocking your expertise.
