Smartsheet adds AI agents that write status reports and check your sheets
Smartsheet announced new AI agents and workflows at its ENGAGE 2026 conference on November 4. The aim is to take routine project work, such as status reports and data checks, off people's plates.
Agentic Workflows are available now. You describe a task in plain words, for example a weekly project summary or a check on risks and dependencies, and it becomes a recurring job that runs by itself and sends the results to the right people.
Two agents are also available now. You ask for them through Smart Assist or a connected AI tool. The Creation Agent turns a goal into a working project, with sheets, dashboards, reports and automations. The Data Quality Agent reviews sheets and flags problems by severity, on demand or on a schedule. Smartsheet says the agents work from live project data and the permissions people already have.
New native connections to ServiceNow, Microsoft Dynamics 365, HubSpot and Workday keep data in sync. An Integration Agent that pulls in data from GitHub, Zendesk, Airtable and Monday.com is in early access. Smartsheet also showed vsActual, a planning product that compares work with a company's goals. It is open only for update sign-ups for now.
What it means for your work
- For project leads: Turn your weekly status update into an Agentic Workflow and check its first few reports.
- For sheet owners: Run the Data Quality Agent before a big review to catch gaps early.
- For admins: Check which connected tools the new integrations will sync before you turn them on.
