Belle Lin's WSJ piece 'Cisco Gave All 90,000 Employees Their Own AI Agent' (Aug 27). The headline is the headcount; the lesson is the architecture: @ThimayaS and the Cisco team built MyAgent to sit on the employee's side of the desk. Each agent pulls context through secure connectors under existing permissions, can call more than 800 subagents on the back end, and takes requests only from its assigned human. A landmark case of personal-agent deployment at enterprise scale.
