NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 13, 2026 / Today, Workmate announced the launch of the Workmate Workforce, a team of custom, collaborative AI agents built around how each company already works.

Unlike traditional AI tools that pair one person with one assistant, Workmate takes a team-based approach and is designed to take on meaningful work from start to finish.

Rather than asking businesses to adapt to off-the-shelf AI tools, Workmate turns their repeatable processes, past work, and institutional knowledge into reliable AI teammates, "Workmates," that get the job done 24/7.

Workmates operate just like remote colleagues, each with their own job title, human manager, computer, email address, access to apps, and ability to collaborate across the team.

"The last decade changed where we work. This decade will change who we work with," said Will Ruben, founder and CEO of Workmate. "We believe the best AI isn't off the shelf. It's custom-built around how your team already works. We're building a future where every company has its own AI workforce, handling the legwork so people can focus on what they do best."

Introducing the Workmate Workforce

Workmates are custom AI agents built to take on meaningful work from start to finish. They operate just like remote colleagues, each with their own cloud-hosted computer, email address, access to apps, human manager, and ability to collaborate across the team.

Built around a company's repeatable processes and past work, Workmates handle the legwork so employees can focus on what they do best. Workmates work independently, collaborate with employees through apps like Slack and Microsoft Teams, and coordinate with one another across multi-step workflows.

Workmate draws on the latest advances in AI models and agent design to build long-running agents that can reason, use tools, and carry work forward across multiple systems while consistently following existing company processes. These capabilities allow Workmates to handle workflows that extend well beyond the rigid, predefined rules of traditional automation.

Custom-Built Around How Businesses Already Work

No two companies work the same way. The most valuable applications of AI often require a deep understanding of a company's unique processes, systems, and institutional knowledge.

Workmate pairs its model-agnostic AI platform with a team of experienced forward-deployed engineers who work directly with each customer. These engineers identify opportunities, turn repeatable processes and past work into AI teammates, and continuously improve each Workmate once deployed.

The result is an entire workforce of custom AI agents built to work the way each company already does, without requiring businesses to replace their existing technology or build and maintain the agents themselves.

Workmate is already partnering with leading companies across industries such as real estate, private equity, and financial services. Use cases include deal screening, due diligence, reporting, research and analysis, and accounting.

If a process can be described and demonstrated, Workmate can build an AI teammate to handle it.

Built for Enterprise

Underpinning the Workmate Workforce is a flexible, model-agnostic AI platform designed to support reliable, long-horizon agents:

• Model agnostic: Workmate supports 30+ models across 11 leading providers, allowing businesses to use the most cost-effective model for each task without being locked into a single provider.
• 3,000+ integrations: Workmates connect with the apps, data, and systems businesses already rely on.
• Collaborative: Workmates collaborate with employees across existing channels like Teams, Slack, and email and even hand work to one another.
• Enterprise-ready: Workmate provides secure credential management, isolated environments, private file storage, granular administrative controls, and SOC 2 Type II compliance.
• Designed to evolve: Workmates can be continuously refined and expanded as business needs change and AI capabilities advance.

Workmate was founded by Will Ruben. The NYC-based founding team includes engineers and operators with prior experience at Meta, Instagram, Microsoft, Coinbase, Navan, and Snap.
