Cisco is rolling out personalized AI assistants to all 90,000 employees starting at the end of July, with the system automatically choosing the right AI model for each task. The move reflects how deeply the company has already woven AI into its operations—in finance alone, AI now drafts 80% to 90% of mandatory regulatory disclosures and helps executives compare Cisco's performance against competitors.

Cisco will provide each of its 90,000 employees with a personalized AI assistant beginning in its new fiscal year at the end of July. The system automatically selects the right AI model for each task and is built largely on-site infrastructure.
Why it matters
CFO Mark Patterson describes AI as the most significant technology transition in his lifetime. Within Cisco's finance function alone, AI now produces 80% to 90% of the first draft of mandatory financial disclosures, and the company has built AI tools to speed investor relations and forecast business performance—suggesting the rollout could meaningfully reduce routine work across the organization.
What to watch
Cisco did not reveal the cost of implementing the AI agents. The company's stock is up about 52% so far this year.
