CEOs are deploying AI agents to run parts of their companies. These tools compile board papers and condense research. Microsoft’s Satya Nadella uses ten custom Copilot agents as AI chiefs of staff. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang uses AI as a tutor. Meta built an avatar of Mark Zuckerberg to engage with staff. Duco’s CEO runs a critic agent to track his focus. AlixPartners’ co-CEO uses AI to research and critique his writing. Board Intelligence’s CEO uses an AI avatar for staff videos. Airbnb’s CEO cut his meetings in half using an AI-trained intelligence corpus. Many leaders say AI gives them more time for strategy. Some executives still do not use AI at work.
