But as we move through 2026, the paradigm has shifted fundamentally. We are no longer just using &#8220;tools&#8221;; we are collaborating with &#8220;agents.&#8221; Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept\u2014it\u2019s already deeply woven into the fabric of how we work, especially in office productivity software.

In 2026, we have entered the era of Agentic AI. Unlike the chatbots of the past that waited for a prompt, today\u2019s AI agents are proactive.
