Workshop launches AI Studio, an agentic layer designed to give internal communications teams the capacity they've never had. Sep 23, 2026, 14:05 ET AI Studio adds scheduled AI agents, secure connectors to company systems, and a Workshop MCP server, so small comms teams can get work done without adding headcount. Workshop is the first internal communications platform to give communicators the ability to build their own agents and put them on a schedule. Announced today at BrightSide, Workshop's annual internal communications conference in Omaha. OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Workshop, the modern internal communications platform built for employee communicators, today announced AI Studio, a new premium AI add-on that moves organizations from asking AI for help to delegating real work to it. Most internal communications teams are one or two people responsible for reaching an entire company. They gather information from across the organization, run the same programs every week, watch what's happening on the ground, and get the right message to the right people at the right time. The work matters, and there has never been enough of them to do all of it. AI tools so far have offered help at the margins: a better subject line, a faster first draft. It's been useful, but the interaction ends there, and the communicator is still the one carrying every process from start to finish. According to Workshop's own Internal Comms Trends Report, 68% of communicators name automating repetitive tasks as their top priority this year. AI Studio was built for that team. It adds an agentic layer to Workshop: AI agents that take on the work a comms team already knows how to do but rarely has time for, following the team's instructions, pulling from the systems where the source material already lives, and bringing finished drafts back for a person to approve. "Comms teams don't need another tool that makes them faster at typing. They need help with the list of things that have to happen every week, whether or not anyone has time for them. Things like weekly digests from Sharepoint, performance summaries for leaderships, event or benefits reminders that have to go out for the fourth time. AI Studio takes that list and does the work, then hands it back to the communicator to review. The team stays in charge of what gets said and how. They just get to spend their time on the parts of the job that actually need them." - Rick Knudtson, co-founder and CEO of Workshop What's new for comms teams * Agents. Prebuilt AI teammates, plus the ability to build custom ones, that complete work end to end, from gathering information to drafting to notifying the right person when it's ready for review. Teams can hand off the programs they run on repeat and pick them back up at the approval step. Workshop is the first internal communications platform to let communicators build their own agents and put them on a schedule. * Connectors. Secure links between Workshop's AI and the places comms teams already keep their source material, starting with SharePoint, with OneDrive, Teams, and more coming soon. No more copying context from one window into another before the work can start. * Workshop MCP server. A secure way to use Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or other AI tools to access Workshop context and take permitted action, so a communicator's existing AI tool of choice can pull campaign results or start a draft without leaving it. * Enterprise AI controls. Admin-level settings for what agents are allowed to do, including which connectors are approved, whether web search is on, and what company context AI can draw from. Comms leaders can say yes to AI with IT and legal comfortable in the room. * Unlimited AI credits. AI Studio removes metered usage so teams can put agents to work without watching a counter or rationing help. Built on the permissions teams already have Communicators handle some of the most sensitive information in a company, and the last thing a small team needs is a new category of risk to manage. So every one of AI Studio's capabilities runs inside the access a team already has, not around it. If someone can't open a file in SharePoint, their agents can't either, and anything an agent isn't sure about stays out of sight. The same goes for the Workshop MCP server: every request is tied to the person who's actually logged in, and the moment someone disconnects a tool or turns off AI Studio, that access goes with it. "The easiest way to lose a team's trust is to give an agent access it shouldn't have. So we built it the other way: if you can open it, your agent can use it, and if you can't, neither can it. Nothing runs that a team didn't set up themselves. Communicators should be able to try this without a single conversation they don't want to have with security," said Mikey Chaplin, Director of Product at Workshop. Availability AI Studio is rolling out to existing customers starting today at BrightSide, available as an add-on to any Workshop plan. Agents, the Workshop MCP server, and enterprise AI controls are available now, with connectors expanding beyond SharePoint in the months ahead.

Workshop named the No. 1 fastest-growing company in Nebraska. Aug 11, 2026, 10:47 ET The Omaha-based internal communications platform also ranks No. 25 in software nationally and No. 272 overall on the 2026 Inc. 5000, Inc.'s annual ranking of America's fastest-growing private companies. OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Workshop, the internal communications platform used by companies like S&P Global, Aston Martin, Monster Energy, and White Castle, announced it has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000, Inc. magazine's annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Workshop's 2026 Inc. 5000 rankings: * No. 1 fastest-growing company in Nebraska * No. 25 fastest-growing software company nationally * No. 272 overall on the 2026 Inc. 5000 The ranking caps a milestone year for the Omaha-based company. Founded in 2021, Workshop has grown to a team of 140 serving more than 800 customers, from national non-profits to Fortune 500 companies, including HarperCollins, ServiceNow, Steve Madden, Madison Square Garden, FastMed, and Papa John's. Earlier this year, Workshop launched its redesigned modern editor, which uses AI-generated emails powered by Cici, Workshop's AI agent built for internal communicators, to build a complete, on-brand email from a single prompt. Paired with Journeys, Workshop's automation engine for turning a team's best communications habits into sequences that run on their own, the update represents the most significant product update in Workshop's history. And in between, Workshop's employee podcast, TalkShop, won a Ragan Employee Communications Award for Best Podcast, recognition voted on by peers across the internal communications and HR industry. The growth also reflects a broader shift inside internal communications teams. According to Workshop's own 2026 Internal Comms Trends Report, 68% of communicators name automating repetitive tasks as their top priority this year, and nearly half already use AI tools daily for content creation. That's the gap Workshop has built its platform, and its growth, around. Most Workshop customers are live within two to four weeks of signing on, and companies like S&P Global, Aston Martin, Monster Energy, and White Castle now use the platform to reach every employee and prove the impact of their communications. It's also a milestone for a company built outside the traditional tech hubs: Workshop is headquartered in Omaha, and the ranking places it among a small number of Midwest software companies to crack the national list. "Being named to the Inc. 5000 means so much to us, especially landing in all three categories: No. 1 fastest-growing company in Nebraska, No. 25 in software nationally, and No. 272 overall," said Rick Knudtson, co-founder and CEO of Workshop. "We've built Workshop right here in Omaha, and this list is proof you don't have to be on a coast to build something that competes at the highest level. It's a reflection of the trust our customers have put in us, and of the work our whole team has put in to earn it." About the 2026 Inc. 5000 The Inc. 5000 is Inc. magazine's annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States, based on percentage revenue growth over a three-year period. The 2026 list and full company profiles are available starting August 11, 2026 at inc.com/inc5000.

Workshop has continued turning that feedback into product improvements, including the introduction of Cici, an in-app comms agent, and a modernized editing experience. For many communicators, the challenge isn't a lack of ideas. It's finding the time to execute them. Cici was built to help with exactly that.

As AI continues to evolve, Workshop remains focused on practical ways to make communicators' days a little easier. The goal isn't to replace the communicator.
