Unite 26 | Information to Action: Defeating Digital Friction with Unily Glass

Unily

When most organizations struggle to point to AI’s impact, each new tool just adds another friction point for employees. Discover how Unily Glass embeds AI into the flow of work and gives your people one place to find information, understand it, and act.

 

Session Overview

AI is everywhere, but its impact is lagging behind. McKinsey research shows only 6% of organizations surveyed are AI high performers. With five generations in the workforce, some employees still want a page of links while others are building agents. Rolling out more tools only adds more logins, interfaces, and places to search.

In this session, Unily’s Charlie Kennedy and Mark Chevis show how Unily Glass closes that gap. Glass is a conversational interface in your intranet or employee app, connected to more than 350 applications. It reads what people are trying to do, not just what they have access to, and takes them from quick navigation to grounded answers and action in systems like SharePoint and ServiceNow. Built to “play well with others,” Glass also hands off to the agents you’ve already built in Microsoft Copilot Studio and beyond.

The session then tackles a flaw almost every AI system shares: it’s probabilistic, and the bigger your organization, the harder it is to guess correctly. Get a first look at Agent Studio, which gives administrators a governance control plane to make Glass more deterministic. Profile-based agent configurations, custom rules, and “human in the lead” approvals keep every handoff and action under your control.

What you’ll learn

Watch the session to discover:

  • Why the gap between AI ambition and AI impact keeps growing, and what it costs your people
  • How Unily Glass uses intent to surface the right information and action from a single place
  • How Glass works alongside Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft Work IQ, and other agent platforms through agent-to-agent handoff and MCP
  • How Agent Studio moves Glass from probabilistic to deterministic, with governance built in
  • How to make the case for Glass with skeptical IT teams by putting adoption at the center
