2026 is the year of long-horizon agents. @sequoia predicts that this year, agents will be able to tackle long-horizon tasks and work autonomously for hours to solve ambiguous tasks. We're excited about how this translates to knowledge work automation, particularly over documents. Let's take a look at "Long Horizon Document Agents" π°οΈ Agents are evolving to work autonomously over weeks, not just minutes, handling complex document tasks end-to-end. π These agents can continuously monitor events like document changes, comments, and deadlines - not just respond to chat prompts π They maintain persistent task backlogs and can collaborate iteratively on living documents like FAQs, PRDs, and legal contracts π― The interface shifts from chat boxes to "agent inboxes" that manage ongoing document tasks with clear status and context β‘ This enables true automation of multi-step knowledge work - from due diligence memo updates to contract redline collaboration loops 2026 is shaping up to be the year agents evolve from "workflows" to "employees" - and we're building the document processing infrastructure to make this possible.
