Productivity & collaboration
Status: complete (published 2026-08-19). Scope finalized at Batch D kickoff with maintainer POV; see findings.md and sources.md.
Scope inventory (v0)
- Estate: M365/Google Workspace, Slack/Teams, knowledge bases (SharePoint, Confluence), the meeting stack
- Presence agents: mailboxes, calendars, meeting participation, directory entries with managers, channel and workspace membership as the security boundary
- Teaming design: notification and attention design (avoiding agent spam), approval and escalation in the flow of work, agent etiquette and norms, personal vs team vs department agent scoping
- Governance: shadow AI usage, tenant controls, telemetry from licensed platforms
Challenged-default candidates
Presence identity for every agent vs a few high-touch teammates; suite copilots vs independent assistants in the same tenant. Each track proposes its final list at kickoff.
