"Micah Remley, chief executive officer at Robin, a contract-review company that utilizes AI, frames the moment clearly. AI-based workplace platforms can absorb the logistical coordination that office attendance requires, he says, freeing the office to deliver what home setups rarely match: faster alignment and richer collaboration. Leaders who treat AI as an experience upgrade, paired with intentional in-person time, create a workplace people choose."
"Friction dominates modern workdays. Microsoft's research on work patterns shows how coordination and meetings sprawl across time zones and into evenings, with late meetings rising 16 percent year over year. When teams carry that overload into the office, the building becomes a backdrop for inbox triage. AI removes that friction. Remley argues that the office earns relevance when people arrive for work that benefits from proximity. Think whiteboards, rapid decisions, and creative collaboration that accelerate a project from fuzzy to shipped."
Monday mornings feature crowded elevators and rising office occupancy, with Kastle's ten-city barometer at 57 percent weekly occupancy. AI-based workplace platforms can absorb logistical coordination, freeing the office to deliver faster alignment and richer collaboration. Leaders who pair AI as an experience upgrade with intentional in-person time create workplaces people choose. Coordination and meetings sprawl across time zones and evenings, increasing late meetings 16 percent year over year. Since February 2020, weekly meeting time rose 252 percent and meeting counts rose 153 percent. Automating scheduling, capture, summarization, and action routing reduces friction so in-person work focuses on proximity-dependent tasks.
