Cisco Rolls Out Personal AI Agents To Its Entire 90,000-Person Workforce

Cisco has expanded its internal “MyAgent” program to give every employee a personalized AI agent, one of the largest enterprise-wide agent deployments disclosed to date. The move signals a shift from pilot programs to workforce-scale infrastructure.
