This past month, we launched an autonomous AI teammate, Otto by Workato, expanded into a new market, and set the stage for what's shaping up to be a defining moment for enterprise AI. There's a lot to unpack. The latest Workato Wire is live. Don’t hesitate, dive in.👇

AI agents aren't replacing sellers - they're giving sellers time back. From smarter prospecting to automated follow-ups and richer pipeline data, agentic AI is handling the repetitive work that keeps reps from doing what they do best, and the impact on revenue is becoming impossible to ignore. Bill Doerrfeld's latest feature for CIO Online brings together CIOs, including Workato's Carter Busse and Samsara's Stephen Franchetti, to share firsthand what's working, what to watch out for and what's next in the evolution of AI-powered sales.

On-prem AI agents are becoming a staple of enterprise automation. But as adoption accelerates, security teams are raising a critical question: how much access is too much? Three rules separate a well-architected agent from a liability - and they all come down to building better boundaries: ✅ Outbound-only connections ✅ Least privilege by design ✅ Approved action catalogs Developer Advocate, Chloe Condon, breaks it down.

Workato reposted this
LLM adoption at Workato is now up over 710%. The connectors you get with LLMs can send an email. But can it read a full thread, manage labels, check attachments, and respect your permission controls? That's the difference between native connectors and Workato’s Enterprise MCP. Episode 4 of our Cate Waters and Carter series is here. This time we're breaking down why native LLM connectors don't cover what enterprise teams actually need. Cate Waters nailed the analogy: using a native connector is like ordering a cheeseburger from a waiter who speaks a different language. You'll get a burger. But it might not be the burger you wanted. With Workato's Enterprise MCP, your recipes give you deterministic, governed, consistent behavior. You get the exact cheeseburger you actually want every time. We walk through real side-by-side comparisons of native vs. Workato MCP servers for Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Docs. And the gaps are bigger than you'd expect. Watch the full breakdown and let us know what you want to see next. #EnterpriseMCP #AgenticAI #CIO

Excel and OneDrive just joined the Workato Enterprise MCP catalog, and for Microsoft-first enterprises, you should lock in. Agents could already pull from CRM, surface Jira records, and retrieve call transcripts. Now they can read and write to the workbook where the numbers live, and find the file before doing so. The Excel MCP Server covers the data layer. The OneDrive MCP Server covers the file system. Together with Outlook Email and Calendar, the full M365 stack is now covered.
